Yes, I need to get under there and look at it but you are correct. Iirc my springs looked to be more flat when I was done which makes no sense because the load is the same. The mistake I made is I should have multiplied radius and perch x 2 because that measurement does swing down under the spring so it has to be counted twice. R + P x 2 + S.
As you said D diameter which is twice the radius + P + P + S = lift. I did mine 2 1/2 years ago so I guess I'm getting rusty. :) I owe you Tequila shots and a campfire in the socal desert. :)
