u can also make em act like a spool if u clamp the spring to the length u want and toss it in the oven on 450 for a bit, and then shim it up to near binding.
the heat treating will shorten the spring and make it VERY stiff. (this is how the city young'ins drop their hondas and s-10's)
BTW, have any of u thought about installing a spool? with our long wheel base it would be almost unnoticable

The new superdutys are setup with 25 pound toque on the cluches, My old 1992 f350 was A lot tighter. Ford properly had complaints of chatter when turning, so they lowered the presure on the cluches. Be nice if someone knew how to setup A new one, with out the chatter.
