Search Goofy leaf, 3/4 elliptic, or buggy leaf.

They're ok, I've built a couple. They're better than whacky shackles but still suffer some of the same disadvantages. tHey do add travel, maybe as much as 4" at the wheel, and do have an effect on spring rate (softening total rate)

Anyway, flex is sooo 1997.
