Exact same coil as Nay's 144VT & 145VT's with an inch less lift. These coils are longer free height than a typical dual rate coil of a similar advertised lift, the top few turns have a smaller diameter wire that easily compresses, hence the "variable taper" description. IIRC Nay provided a pic of his front coil were you can see the top few turns with the coil compressed (EDIT: see post 52). The result is longer down travel when the ground drops away. My coils are a little tippy when I'm unloaded but ride nice. They firm up as I add weight as there is less of the small taper coil in motion as it starts to sit down. Without the weight on the truck, these coils will generate more lift than advertised.Are the coils Dual rate like Nay’s 3.5 VT coils? They don’t say Dual rate in the description? Does it matter/make a difference?
