I theory that is correct but what if you over-extend the springs? Those springs were designed at that length for a reason. You may be able to stretch them further, but you have to wonder why they didn't do that at the factory. You also have to think about the eye bolts that you want to use. Are they the cheap Chinese eye bolts found at Home Depot, or are they the hardened steel eye bolts supplied by the factory?
If you stretch the springs past the point of no return, they would be weaker, and it could make the whole unit useless.
Thousands of people have used SteerSafe as designed. Take a good look at the installation instructions and figure out what you are doing wrong.
