Dual stage rf question

[mab475]

I solved some of that problem by putting the spring nut in a lathe and turning down the collar so it's only .125 high and my lockout nut is only .375 tall so that gains me around an extra .375. Never had a problem with the top spring coilbinding and never needed extra room for the lockout actually had room to spare.

i agree with you masters but we wanted more gap so we made our own sliders and im not sure an eight and five will fit on a 7in shock ill have to check and see,,im sure envy would be a little more knowledgable on this but this is my experience

Re suspensions uses 7" springs top and bottom they work just fine on 7" ohlins front shocks.

It works for me on M2s.

Thats the reason we use a 6" and a 7" spring. Also, Hypercoil is currently working with us to get more rates of each length.

PAC springs has 6" in 50# increments up to I think they said 700# now

I know there have been many post about this subject but rather than send folks to do research and all that why not just share here. Rather than all the comments about "there are reasons why we dont use them" and such, why not just share again with those who may not be 4m junkies...LOL. I have heard of several combonations of these springs myself, and have also heard that the 4" spring will coil bind before you hit the locknut. Is this the case and is this what it seems many are referring to by suggesting the 5" spring? Also what about the slider that is used to hit the locknut? There was mention of the "plastic" one having issues. What issues? I have the one that Afco has, is this one not correct? I would like to try this sometime but would like to only have to buy what i need one time, rather than buying the wrong length spring and/or dividers(floaters,sliders) then have to buy another. So if i were going to purchase the stuff to run this set uo would it be fair to say that i should start with a 5" spring for the top and a 6"-8" spring for the bottom?Who sells 5" springs? And what divider(floater/slider)? Also what would be a good spring combonation to start out with on a track that is relatively flat without a lot of traction? PM the info if you would rather keep your suggestions confidential.

Thank you.
