Any advantage to running a longer spring left side rear? Right side 10 inch and a left side 13 inch. No change in % no change in spring weights. 2" offset- tacky/wet 4" dry slick/rubbered down feature. Same set-up between heat and feature- no change from usual set-up. Thinking being it MIGHT help in transferring weight left to right.

If the left side spring was longer but everything else was the same as you have now, then no, it wont accomplish anything because you will adjust the jack to get the same height and scale numbers, and the spring will compress the same amount of inches, so nothing will change, Now if you went with a lighter spring that was longer, it would compress more inches and store more energy, so as the left rear dropped down it would deliver pressure longer since it had more compressed stored energy. Just like the 100 lb 20" spring deal, it was very compressed and had a lot of stored energy, all be it at a lesser rate. If you don't have a lot of LR suspension travel to take advantage of the extra stored energy, you wont see much of a difference.

I agree 100% with Dave. The only difference would be the longer spring is heavier.

Extra transfer if needed without loosing left rear if done correctly but with the right set up just letting out of the gas plants right rear while still going straight if running 200lbs of left rear to start with!
