In order to get the best flex in spring packs you must have flat ones, and longer .. well rated for your rig .. to allow it come negative

theres only so long they can be on a standard set up, unless i start moving spring mounts around, which is posiable i supose. and wouldnt bother me too much,

It depends .. if you have longer leaves ( 2" longer for example ) you can compensate it with longer shackles ..

Other options it's add a revolver type shackles .. with also longer leafs.
