I did in hopes it would allow me to have soft springs while preventing some axle wrap. It did not.


I have anti-wrap links installed so that should help. Let me ask you this. Wouldn't you have the same flex with the middle spring on top and zip tied (per instructions) to the main leaf, or the middle leaf under the main leaf?

Leaf springs under the main spring make things stiffer. Zip tying them together makes them even stiffer.

Zip tying the top one to the main spring would probably stiffen it a little bite. IMO you don't need any springs on top if you are running anti-wrap links.

Very nice build man.

Stupid question maybe but do you have both original shocks and spring leaf shocks installed at the same time?
