Just a slip of the keyboard on my post. If you look at my prior posts you will see that I have always addressed the distance between the two force flanges/ends of the assembly. I addressed that in more than one post and also tried to get folks to consider the preload of the installed spring system.

Please review my posts and see what I said when I was thinking and in my right mind.

Start with my discussion in post #85 and then move back up the ladder from there. I think I did properly address the appropriate measurement. I did, however, ask a needless question somewhere along the way, that is I wasn't sure where the ultimate slide stop was. I later found it and described it as a U.
