Flat Springs

I've been running SPOA for a good while now, running with the stock springs.

Over time and wheeling, they have lost their flatness and are starting to move towards the inverted side of things.

I've had an "add a leaf" suggested to me, but i want to keep the spring rates as close as possible to what i have now, as it is nicely balanced on road and off.

Would my best option be to gather some 2nd hand springs and play with the packs? Or get some new springs and remove leaves to get to the desired height?

Any other options that you can think of???

Cheers

are you having problems with rubbing or spring wrap ?

If neither of these things are causing you issues I would leave em as they are.. lower is better.

If you feel you must add some leaves make sure they are long ones (i used old main leaves and cut the eyes that normally hold the bushes off and added em to the spring pack .. added a little height and gave the main leaf a bit more support without upping the spring rate dramatically)
