Using 832 (or632) bolts, 15 turns should equal a 30lb total load at the 4 springs. Ideally, you don't want to compress the spring more than 80% of its total available distance as the rate starts to ramp up in the last 20% ( from what I read, but I imagine it will vary somewhat depending on the spring)
