In terms of your suspension, if a bump is encountered that translates into a force at the spring of
450 pounds, the 100 lb/ spring will want to compress 4.5 inches while the 150 lb/in spring will
in
only compress 3 inches. If our suspension only has 4 inches of spring travel the unit with the
spring will bottom out while the 150 lb/in unit still has 1 inch of travel remaining (see
in
following illustration).
