This is just a curiosity questiion for any who know the answer. If a monospring is rated at 1000 lb/in, does that mean each end of the spring (i.e., half the spring) is acting at 1000 lb/in, or does it mean a combined weight of 1000 lbs pressing down on the center of the spring will deflect both ends of the spring up one inch?
But that does bring up a useful point for the OP. If he clamps the spring in his car, he could use a jack and wheel scale and maybe a dial gauge to move the spring end upward exactly 1" and just measure the force. That would be the rate of his particular spring.

Ha, figured those those guys were otw out! They sent me the wrong gen kit then I tried to return it twice, the label they sent me was no good both times! And I had like $50 of credit from another mistake before that, not that I'd use them again anyway.
