Does anyone know the differences between the rear coil springs?
There are 3 part numbers for Non-Sport, Sport, Police.
Are the police package ones stiffer to carry more junk all the time like cops would gear up?
I have a 2016, that the springs seem to be total garbage on.
The 2013 Sport with the same trailer and weight, measured side by side on each vehicle, the 2016 has +1.5" squat over the 2013.
So I am wondering:
Are the springs different?
Does the 2013 Sport have the wrong springs installed at factory?
Does the 2016 Sport have the wrong springs installed at factory?
Could the 2013 be Police Springs by mistake? Thus it don't squat as much.
As far as I can tell the 2013 and 2016 call for the exact same spring, but side by side with the same trailer, LDH installed, the 2016 is 1.5" lower.
It rides and tows like ****.
I tried spring spreaders, and that only helped a little, but I don't like the creaking.
I since sold off the 2013, so I can't check part numbers on the spring.
Anyone have ANY ideas? It is baffeling.
I am to the point where I want to buy the police and sport 2013 used pulloff form Ebay/junkyard stock to look at them.
But chances are they are the same height, and it is the compression rate that is different.
For about $100 I can just get police springs for both sides and test, but trial and error seems like a dumb idea.
I haven't pulled the springs out of the 2016, but I can see in the parts diagram that there is a spacer at the bottom and wondered if I could stack two of those for a 1.5" lift.
The cop units have the same rake and don't measure higher in the back, so I'd assume its compression rate.
