thanks for the inputs guys... all of it makes sense... and the SLS does indeed help out a bit as stated... but i also think the point about having extra/undue/unneeded pressure on the SLS because of extra weak springs is also a concern... i might actually look into new springs... as my unassisted springs droop A LOT. as in A LOT.
after all, they are 21 yrs old.
