Springs and bumpstops

[vanilla_gorilla]

I posted this in Huck's deaver thread but ddnt hear anything back, wondering if anyone kows the answer or has ideas.

I've also heard we should be lubing these spring packs at least once a year for general maintenance, has anyone does so? I was going to spray some WD40 silicone on my spring, by letting the sag down and getting the lube in between the leafs.

And I have the national HDs and zero sag and ride great on a screw. I have to add my two cents, i think the HDs will ride better on the SCrews better then the SCabs because the SCrew is about 200lbs heavier, so that almost the recommended 500lbs load needed for the HDs sweet spot.

another question i have is regarding the drp shackle, i have the ones from SDHQ and I'd like to put them on the lower the rear just a bit, but i'm curious how much distance i need from the strike pad to the bump stop. Anyone know? Anyone have measurements of the distance between the bump and the pad?

Looks like it supposed to.
How much was your maintenance fee?

I got the bro discount. Doesn't apply to you.

As far as lubing them VG, I would think it could only help.

So you got lubricated and then rearched you springs

Does anyone knows what is the perfect height from a level floor to the bottom edge of the fender flare in an SCrew?? I have Nationals SD, but I have noticed that with little cargo that I put in the bed it starts to sag quickly. Right now I measured the height from floor to bottom of flare and it's at 43.5" with nothing on the bed except for my RollBak Cover which weights around 100 Lbs. In total.

Measurements should always be center hub to fender lip so the different tires and wear levels of the said tire is not part of the equation. After market fenders can affect any measurement so that needs to be noted if installed.

I will remeasure it today; thanks for the input. I am running stock fenders
