Compressed deaver coil height
Hey guys. I posted this in the dentside forum also, not sure who might have the answer. I need the compressed coil height of Deaver 6" coils. I'm setting up my <NOBR style="COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_0_0>suspension
</NOBR> at static height and need to figure out if some brackets will need to be moved. Right now there is no cab or front sheetmetal bolted on. The coils have a slight bow to the front that I don't want. I know it will compress some but might not be enough. Thank you

Alright, I found the compressed height. It is somewhere between 20-20.5" Also figured out the coil bow problem once I had that height. My upper coil buckets are both 1/4" to far back and castor is at 2*+. (I was shooting for 4*) I can either move the coils the 1/4" forward or shorten my upper arm thus rotating the axle back where I planned. I plan on hydro assisting so I am wondering if 2* will be fine? That will help with the pinion angle and all I would have to do is move my coil buckets. Anyone got some input?
