Default Anyone got a loose composite spring from VBP they can measure?

I'd like to know the vertical height of the spring at the center, I got an unknown spring in my closet, and want to make sure the spring pads will do okay.

Thanks in advance!

I have the new rear spring handy, but it's the dual mount variety. Therefore, it arches at each end and is relatively flat for most of the span.

VBP has a help line that opens at 9am on Saturday, and is good until about noon. You might want to give them a call and read them the numbers off of your spring.

:cheers:

Have my 330# spring in the garage. Sitting on the floor - rests on the metal spring bolt cushion pads - to the bottom of the spring is approx 5" .

Need anything else measured? :lol:
