Thanks!

Length is not what you need to be worrying about. If you put a spring that is too long onto a shock, the spring will always be slightly compressed, just as if you had adjusted the pre-load on a shorter spring of the same weight.

There is no reason you should be wanting a longer spring, and in fact, a spring that is too long will coil-bind before the full-travel of the shock is reached (which is bad).

You should also not be running the same weight springs front & rear unless your truck has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Like I said, you should be running heavier springs in the rear and lighter springs in the front. You can possibly get away with running the same oil weight front and rear, and sometimes even the same pistons front and rear, but in reality, the front and rear shocks should be tuned differently since the front and rear of the truck are different.

The heavier your spring, the heavier your oil needs to be (or the smaller the piston needs to be).

The lighter your spring, the lighter your oil needs to be (or the larger the piston needs to be).

What exactly are you wanting to do, and I will let you know how you need to setup your suspension/shocks. How heavy is your truck? Do you run anti-swaybars? What terrain do you run on mostly? What type of driving do you do, and do you drive aggressively? Do you jump your truck, or just stay on flat ground?

I appreciate your concern,but I didn't ask for it ?

What you think I "should do" isn't what I want to do.

I drive my Revo like a complete physco on 5s, and I jump the shit out of it.
I have the collars cranked 1/4 of way down w/blue springs with the variable valves. I'm really happy how my erevo handles and I'm always looking to "EXPERIMENT", so the longer springs might do well for me ?
Worst case senerio I wasted 10bucks

It's a excuse to tinker, so no worrys dude. I'm a big kid havin' fun w/my toy trucks ?
