No heavy loads for me. This was my Dad's pit truck in the super-modified jalopy circuit (Enid, Wakeeney, Hutchinson, Wichita, etc.), and at his Olds-Cadillac dealership. He probably needed overload springs; I don't.
Tim, both primary and overload springs are 1 3/4" (they're closer to 1 5/8", but I imagine they are nominally 1 3/4", as you say).
Thanks, guys.
