I swapped out the secondary spring yesterday. Dang...do you think they used enough Loctite on the helix bolts?
They were TIGHT!
I went ahead and left both large black plastic washers inside the secondary (one above and one below the spring). They appear to be some type of glide washers to prevent the secondary spring from binding?
Anyway, I backed the sled out of my shop and rode it a bit before putting it in the trailer and tried reverse several more times and reverse seems to work just fine.
Now, if I can get the family herded up, I will give a report on how it works for me.
Is there any new news on this subject? Have any of you who have replaced the secondary spring thought about trying another H5 spring?
As Mr. Speedwerx says "a lighter spring with the stock helix works very well in our experience".
My question is, how light is too light? Is the 170/270 just scratching the surface of potential improvements? Maybe a 150/250 would work even better?
