SPRING ISOLATOR AND WEAR BAND

A dual rate spring system is disclosed. The dual rate spring system can include a spring coupler for coupling a first spring with a first spring rate to a second spring with a second spring rate, wherein said spring coupler has an annular structure disposed about a surface of a damper body and is capable of sliding axially along said surface of said damper body. The dual rate spring system can further include a spring isolator configured to be compressible and to prevent vibrations between said first spring and further include a first portion configured to be positioned between said first spring and said spring coupler and a second portion configured to be positioned between a closed coil of said first spring and a main body coil of said first spring. The dual rate spring system can also include a wear band.
