interesting. i was either the guy or one of the guys who assumed packers/spacers would diminish performance compared to longer heavy springs. In my mind it is still true although the advantage may be smaller than i thought if the load rating is idnetical. to take an extreme example, surely a spring half as long with the same load rating would not perform as well dynamically as the longer spring. therefore the shorter medium spring will not perform quite as well as the heavy even with the same load. the difference may or may not be discernible.

here is a question. I believe people have found the ride on the heavies to be stiffer and harsher with insufficient weight. christo leans against the heavies unless you have a winch. this doesn't make sense if the load rating is the same. have people found the same thing using spacers with no winch/or arb?
