Default Coil Spring Adjusters?

I put some in. See how they do. I mean the worst that could happen is they break or fall out,right. They were only $10. What do you guys know about them?

Are those the things you put in between the coils of the spring?

What purpose do they serve? I would only imagine that it would make your ride stiff as hell.

If I am thinking of the same thing, I tried them a long time ago on a bronco I plowed with and had a saggy front end. They didn't work and I ended up using airbags that went inside the coils.

I agree with it making the ride more harsh. I know what you are talking about now and I would really swap those out for at least coil spacers if not spindles.
