My rear springs have gone through several mods over the decades ranging from reverse arch to buckboard stiffl. I toned down the stiff version by removing a leaf last mod and now time for another revision
Searching indicates a rate of 190 lbs/in for street use??
An extra half leaf on the front and ditch the traction bars??
What to use between the leaves - teflon?
Anything special about the leaf clamps?
Shot peen each leaf and paint?
Any better bushings available?
Will inspect the frame bushings when I take the springs out today for another disc brake mod.
