1. this is the strangest coil i have ever seen... http://photos-d.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v233/242/36/740660296/n740660296_2955515_208.jpg

2. i do not know what the name of the part is but i guess its the coil post.... i added two inched to my jeep and the rear coil post i feel was not wide enough for the spacer. i cant really explain it, i guess im just getting nervous that im going to jump a coil while wheeling her. i think i might need to get extended coil posts they seem to sort...

I forget what they call those kinds of springs, but it's something like multi-rate or something. They are supposed to be really smooth compared to coils that have the same spacing between coils for the entire distance. There are a couple different companies that make them that way, but those are the most differentiated that I've ever seen.

It just struck me, but I think they are called progressive rate springs. I think EMU makes some progressive rate springs that are supposed to ride really nice.
