I am trying to size coil over springs and wondered if anyone knew the approximate tear weight of a 1930 Coach?  It has a 16 gallon fuel tank.

Thanks

I am showing 2515 lbs. curb weight, if that helps.

Chopper,

Is that the stock weight?

I usually run 250 lb to 275 lb rear spring coils. Mounted at 30 degrees of pitch on the coilover shock.
