Hi all
Can someone tell me if my rear springs are standard or parabolic?
Seem very hard to me!
Thanks

You might find that the springs have 'sagged' slightly and therefore as the axle moves up it very soon touches the bump stops. This might be interpreted as hard suspension, when in fact it is soft suspension coming to a hard stop.

If you are running lightly loaded or a soft top, then some brands of 3 leaf parabolics can feel quite 'hard' on a SWB.
