Below is the calculated rear axle weights based on a linear rate of progressive spring rates for a given ride height EBH for King KCRR-35HD and the actual rear axle weights. We did a load test on Pajero 12's NW before a Simpson Crossing and it was these numbers actual test numbers that convinced him to change the HD coils over for EHD.
As you can see the actual kg are lower than the calculated under light loads but with 10mm of decrease in EBH the actual kgs are higher and the difference gets larger with every mm of coil compression.
EBH mm....Calculated kg....Actual kg
572mm..........1265kg..........1190kg
557mm..........1356kg..........1433kg
547mm..........1417kg..........1563kg
539mm......... 1464kg..........1691kg
535mm..........1495kg..........1747kg
522mm..........1574kg..........1905kg
