Default LST spring rate??? Anybody know??

I see the manual lists the optional springs as..
White-4.0lb rate
Black-6.0lb rate
Yellow-7.4lb rate
But whats the stock spring rate??? Has anybody seen that listed anywhere?

Thermal, do you think it would be better or worse to stretch out the stock spring so that the pre-load spacers are not needed or just get stiffer springs.

I wouldnt stretch them out. I dont think youd be able to get 4 identical springs that way. Just buy the option springs, they will look cool too. I like the stock suspension setup, i just want the other springs.

If this is a 'spring rate pool' - I'm going with 5.0lbs as the stock rate . . .
