  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2005 TE450 rear spring

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I weigh just under 200 lbs, and I'm guessing that the spring has been replaced by a stronger one.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?
