    ^^has to be coil bound.

    Now, that probably occurs at 2100-2200 # depending on his initial ride load and gap, so maybe it isn't too bad.

      On the rocket set-up set up sheet, if you run a 200 with a 550 bump spring, it says you need an internal bump stop in the shock. I never ran that setup so I am not sure.

        we figured out pretty quick that on a rough track , the bump spring or even the 2 stage set up was better and a smooth track the rubber stop was better , we never went that soft on the bump spring though , we also migrated to the long soft lfr spring over the stacked , we like the swift tornado spring the best...jmo...

          I believe they are referring to a.500" spacer inside the bump spring to keep it from coil binding

            What brand/length of springs do you run? Been looking for about a 100lb short spring (6in) but not able find anything.

              I think PAC made that spring, if you can find someone who bought up their inventory.

              Swift makes it in the barrel type.

                8” 100 12” 200 use the unloaded on the smasher to assemble it. 6” will coilbind

                  Even at 8", swift isn't supposed to be loaded to 600#. I assume the poster has something different than cookie-cutter in mind.

                    I think last one I did was 645 and it was a sheet of paper from starting to touch coils lol. But I never got the load down to raise deck more before the car got put away for covid

                      Easy equation for what spring is needed for your desired "extended load"

                      Spring rate = ((Ride height load) - (Desired extended load)) / (Extended center to center) - (Ride height Center to center)

                      Example: I want 100# of extended load, my ride height load is 600#. My Ride height center to center is 15", my extended center to center is 20"

                      (600# - 100#) / (20" - 15") = 100 lb/in spring

                        Good info but worth mentioning this only works for non lockout setups

                          That equation gets a little tougher but is pretty easy to do on a spreadsheet. I raced for a long time with no spring smasher, just microsoft Excel on my phone.

                            I only got a smasher to deal with bumpstops. I hear you.

                              Is there a way to figure out using spring rubbers in Excel or is that something you absolutely need a spring smasher for?

                                That's another one where you need to check it, to really know. Those were invented for a hail Mary adjustment, it's funny how they are considered std equipment now.
