My chassis is very stiff and when taking a steep left-hand turn going uphill (e.g., road-to-uphill-driveway) the front right tire ever-so-slightly lifts off the ground and the suspension is deloaded (i.e., spring flopping around with potential for spring hat to fall off).
Right now my solution has been to screw the spring (hypercoils w/ qa-1 double adjustable shocks) as tight as possible by hand such that, when suspension is deloaded, the spring hat phsyically contacts its mount on the shock shock body (this way there's no chance for the spring hat to fall off the spring when suspension at full droop). But of course this puts my ride height where i don't want it (too high since i've got the spring up tight as much as possible).
Would helper springs be a good solution to my problem? Most references I've seen seem to be with lift kits to keep the spring centered while it's lifting, but i have no idea when actually driving.
Or should i be using a shorter shock? Or something else? i've played around with different spring rates/springs lengths but that doesn't seem to help anything.
