Default High Lift Leaf Springs

Has anyone tried putting the leaf pack together like a 1:1 truck. With the longest leaf on top and the next longest under it and so on...... All i have seen are the ones that have a long leaf on top of the main leaf and then a really tiny one under the main leaf. That way the Leaf on top of the main leaf does nothing to hold the truck up. I hope somebody understands all this chicken scatch . Thanks

Yes, but then it is to stiff and you get no flex.

Why even run the leaf on top if it doesnt do any good? Is there any benefit to having it there? Thanks for the help!!!

Yes, you run the one leaf on the top of the pack. It is susposed to be ziptied to the main leaf to increase stiffness, and help keep from warping the piss out of the main leaf.
