Default Swapping springs.
Has anyone on here besides Tio swapped the rear springs to the front and front to back?? Since rear Springs are stiffer and shorter. Been looking into getting stiffer springs for my Ricelands, I Just want to see if anyone has done this and can provide some feedback on how it rides.

Get new coils. you can flip them if you want, the rear isnt even that much stiffer than the front so you'll be ok.
