I have purchased coil springs for a tag trailor that has ramps that are very heavy. The ends of the spring have arms that stick out, one end is 6 inches long to catch the pin that holds the ramps on the trailor and the other end is 3 inches long and rides on the ramp in a trough. The arms are at 10 o'clock and at 2 o'clock. I must bend one of the arms from 2 to 5 o'clock to better carry the load through out the range of motion of the ramp as it goes up and down. How do I do this? Do I heat and bend? Or heat, bend, and quench in oil? Please help.
