I bought it and it's way too light. I'm going to try to take it to a springshop and have them make another leaf like it to sandwich up with it.It would have been better to spend the money and get the J-3 tail spring.DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1/Piet hybridwww.raptoronline.com N74DV-----Original Message-----

DJ, I bought one too and I'm thinking that it is too flimsy.What aboutbuying another spring like it from A.S. and cutting off about 3-4 inches anddouble them up??? Mark----- Original Message -----
