I guess this all makes a little more sense, but your math situation is way to intense for me hahaha.. I was trying to comprehend how cutting a spring would still yield lift, yes I know a stiffer spring will net more lift, hence the advertised 2" OME HD actually gives you closer to 3". By cutting the spring it increases spring rate which will negate the amount of lift??? Am I getting there Matt??? hahaha I feel like Im in school, but a fun school
