So, I bought the 22-1195HD spring pack last week. (What did you think this was about?)
The SD Springs site, and a couple others say “reuse rubber” in their write up…. The stock spring pack is about 1 9/16” (>2” with the rubbers)…. The 22-1195HD is 1 15/6”.
(almost 2” with rubbers, here is 2 1/4” with just one)….
Here is how it fits in the factory clam shell without the rubbers…. Barely closes without any “protection”…. No way would it close with both isolators stacked in there…
The handling is much improved… the original spring pack was so worn that shackles on the highest setting just leveled the van.. i know most vans / trucks don’t use isolators, and can add spacers to make the clamshells close more evenly….
Clearly I have too much ‘girth’ to use the two rubbers (isolators) with the new springs…. I could remove the overload spring, but what is the point of that?
Can anyone figure out why they say “reuse rubbers”? Any really good arguments for putting them back on?
