ditch the overload spring, yes or no?

[lbishop]

Im gonna be installing revolvers with a 2nd gen deaver 2 spring aal, end of this week, and was wondering if I should ditch the overload spring? What benefits am I gaining from taking it out? Or should I leave it? Input?

thanks

Go ahead and pull it, they only get in the way after you have that much lift in the pack. They are in there to keep the spring from inverting if pushed to hard, but with the two leaf AAL it is going to be a pretty hard thing to do. That and it becomes a big road grader, getting stuck and running into just about every rock that you can find

Agreed. Toss it. Just another snag point.

They are really useful for hanging up on rocks, though...I ishcanned mine when I re-arched the springs and added another leaf

Agreed toss it. Creates a harsh rebound when offroad.
