This is what I have except I have removed the overload.

I have been using stock type springs for about 8 years...I'm needed to replace my 3rd pair. The first (originals) broke...I blamed it on being old & scared to death, the replacements bent & so has the set that is on there now. I have purchased the parts to make an anti-roll bar which seems to be the problem. The main Right spring seems to flatten out & the Left one kinks toward the front. At some point I may go to the split mono's.

My advice, If you are going to use multi leafs & are going to the track with sticky tires...do the anti-roll bar now. Lorne

It goes 1.56-8 60' times. You can see some rollin' over going on.

Here's from the other side of the track...you can see the whole rear tire in the wheelwell
