ahh. Well ITs gotta be an improvement over the stock, or lack there of cause thats what it feels like right now.

I got my new Blowsion spring....I didn't get to install it tonight but I will
tomorrow. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the difference between the
stock and the Blowsion spring:

This spring should have WAY more tension on the pole than the stock one.
Getting it installed may be a bit of a b*tch, though.

i need a "how to install" also, so it would be nice if someone with a past experience gave a step by step.

ill give it a shot
i remove the pole bolt that goes throught the stock spring. if yours doesnt have one then it dnt matta. i removed the bolt all the way and with the pole off the mount a bit, put the spring ends into the spots on the bracket and the pole. the spring will be cockeyed and the fun part is gettin the bolt back through. i used a combo of wrenchin the bolt through and beating it in withe a hammer. try not to ruin the threads too much. after its in it helps to move the pole up or down to line the bolt up with the threads on the other side of the bracket. im not good at explaining things but thats what i did

Will do...probably will be like everyone else says, beat the crap out of it
with a rubber mallet to get it in there.

Here's a link to my website, where I outline what I did to install the spring, and
you can also see a short video showing the BEFORE and AFTER comparison
of the stock spring vs. the Blowsion spring.

Does an aftermarket spring help on a square nose as much as a round nose?

 

[brett]

im sure it would although my square pole doesnt seem as heavy it probably is
