It's like the three bears story, there's too little, too much, and just right. With as many of these that MorRyde has done, I bet they know what they are talking about.

This was my thought until they said that they choose the spring rubber based on the actually weight of the trailer not just going with 8K. Sounds like it would be an 8K IS with a 7K spring. The steel parts would be beefier, but the ride would be a 7K ride. It sort of makes sense, but I'm a BSEE and not a BSME. My one mechanical class was on beams an not suspensions.
