" That's about what factory heavy duty springs would have been. CSS

" The progressives ride much better -- a little soft initially but

" out the rate you need based on the original "straight" rate. They

if they have the factory charts, why not just order factory hd
replacements?

i have to second going with hd.  i put factory hd in my '67 marlin
along with twin-tube ['low pressure'] gas shocks, and the ride was
great - nicely firm, neither mushy or harsh.
