Sometimes this is on the spring. ( 500x2.25 for example, is a 500lb spring with a 2.25" stroke.) If it is not on the spring, remove the spring, and measure the eye to eye fully compressed. Subtract the compressed measurement from the extended measurement, and you have the stroke. These are the measurements that you need. The last is the spring rate. Good Luck. |
| oh.so that second number IS the stroke... | bighitflow
