I'm working on some modifications to my 90 EXT 530. Primarily I want a little more travel from the front suspension as well as more clearance at the belly pan. I'm going to build some longer A-arms, about 1-1.5" longer each. The stance on the 90 AFS is ~35" center to center. My 94 EXT is about 38". I want to keep it narrow for the side hilling and boondocking, so I may modify the spindle to offset the ski inward .5" to help make up for the longer arms.
But here's my question, does anybody know the spring rate for the main spring on the AFS suspensions? I think they are quite a bit heavier than those used in the AWS because of the cantilever design has more leverage on the shock. Has anybody seen anything like this done back in the day? I heard that there may have been a Brads Long Travel system for the AFS sleds, but have not found any information on the internet. Not even much on the AWS BLT from Fast.
Also, does anybody know of any place to buy coil springs in varying rates/sizes? If I get a shock from an AWS sled with a longer travel than the tiny shocks on the AFS, I'd like to be able to bump up the spring rate if need be.
Thanks, Brad
