Take Up Springs

How do Take Up Springs Work?

Landrum Take Up Springs are used with coil over spring set ups to maintain tension in the suspension system, thereby keeping the main springs from becoming slack when the suspension has a light load or is at full extension. This maintains main spring contact with the spring seat and prevents it from moving out of place. Take Up Springs are positioned in series with the main springs, typically between the main spring and the spring perch.

Take Up Springs, also known as Tender Springs, have very low spring rates and are engineered to compress to solid quickly as the suspension compresses under normal or heavy load, allowing the main springs to take over and handle the load.

Take Up Spring Quality

Landrum Take Up Springs are made at our Indiana, USA facility and use the same excellent Landrum engineering, materials and manufacturing techniques as our larger coil springs and coil over springs.

• Designed using the latest spring design software and state-of-the-art engineering technology.
• Only the best grade of high tensile chrome silicon alloy steel is used for strength, durability, and lightness.
• Use of high-quality steel and an intensive heat and press process ensure bump springs maintain free length and rate throughout a near Infinite operational life.
