Axial Dual Rate Shocks
 
Hi all!

The extra parts that come with Axial's 2.2 rigs, at least the Bomber and Yeti, not sure about the Wraith, include a collar to convert the shocks to a dual rate/spring setup:https://i.imgur.com/TCQ8635.jpg

But I've been unable to find any springs that are the proper size to make it work. I don't want to take one of the regular springs and cut it... I know that's possible and you can even heat up the end you cut and flatten it out for a factory style finished end, but I just don't want to mess with that. I'd like to find something off the shelf that's the exact diameter but shorter and some stiffness options would be nice as well.

To be a little more specific I'm going for a look similar to the vaterra ascender shocks:

where the top spring is noticeably shorter than the bottom. I've seen some dual spring setups from RC4WD and others where both springs seem to be about the same length but that's just not what I'm going for.

Anyone know where to find the right kind of springs for this? Seems like Axial would have made some since they included the collar...
