Hello, I bought a two pack of springs when I got the Felco 2, I decided to buy them for backup instead of looking for them in a hurry. In the shipping bubble pack the springs measure 2 1/2" long.......regards..........poppie927.

I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having. My installation process was as follows: Installed the front of the spring first, then put the "U" clamps on ( lose fit.. double check the line-up on the hole & pin under the plate) then install the end of the spring in back. The last step is a challenge to say the least. Ended up using pinch (crow) bars with the help of a neighbor. Overall... very pleased with the quality of the product, but it was a bitch to install !!! Stick with it, and good luck. I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having.

Please do not stretch the springs. They are factory set to a high tolerance. you will cause the device to work incorrectly and likely fail the annual inspection.

Screw it down to where the springs are almost fully compressed. The plastic is not the critical structure at risk, it is the CPU and the MB backing plate. The springs provide proper torque load as you compress them to near full compression. Do it in steps, in an X pattern.

Greetings, These springs should lower the car approximately 1.25" front and rear.

I've only had mine for a few weeks, but none of them have given out yet. I think they'll just be like regular springs and they'll give out over time but none of them have become useless yet.

Unless you weigh 300 pounds you don't have to worry about springs---they don't break, but if you are obese, they might stretch out with time. Call ReboundAir and ask them.

What ever the size the stock leaf springs are these are just as wide as those.

they are not quick struts . you have to use spring compressor to install the new ones.

There is about 1/4 - 1/2" of compression. I'd suggest you get the 11-18. If you adjust it to 11 1/4" it should be about right.

These springs are pretty tight. At first youll see theyre kind of high around 5" or so.... There is a lot of discussion of how to "seat" the springs. I left the shackle bolts loose and added my motorcycle carrier to the back of the truck and drove around a full week with the springs loaded. They sunk in a bit. I then drove another week and articulated the springs out on some trails...came home and torqued shackles as it sits and im almost a tad over 3.5".... Not for nothing but those RC front springs probably sagged out by now so u might have a little rake!

As others have replied, no lift over original factory springs. My 1998 had 16 years of fatigue so they had flattened out about 3", and could not handle a load. The new springs will look and feel like a lift kit was installed.

I measured them at 36 inches but that's a stretch. I am pulling a Ranger Bass Boat and Trailer. After replacing my old cables with these cables I found the length to be just at the far end of how far I would want to stretch them at 32 inches. Any more than 32 inches and you won't have any excess. These are just a bit shorter then what came on my original trailer but seem to be an adequate replacement.

They should fit, they compress against springs, and are actually a little more secure when not extended to their full length.

These are 17.5" when compressed. If you have any other questions please let us know.

The legs on these from the relays are pretty long I had to cut mine off, if I were guessing they are approx. 6-8ft long.
