    I just bought a 2005 TE450 and I'm finding it very stiff. I can't get anywhere close to 4" sag. Even with the preload at its loosest setting (so no preload) I only get about 2½ inches.
    I weigh just under 200 lbs, and I'm guessing that the spring has been replaced by a stronger one.

    Is there any way to identify what spring it has? Or can anyone tell me what spring someone with my weight would need?
    I've never had to deal with this, is replacing the spring something I can do myself or do I need to find a suspension guru?
