Default Bruiser Leaf Springs

I am looking for suggestions as two what combo leaf springs I should use for the Bruiser.

I had the RCWD Red Leaf springs with one to the original kit helper springs on the car. Over time they flattened out.

I picked these up recently

I installed all 3 and car is very stiff.. I guess option would be to remove one of the helpers.. which one.. short or longer?

I have used the leaf springs from the tamiya Ford high lift kit. You will gain a little bit of lift with them depending on how many leafs you use.

Put the helper springs above the main leaf to soften the suspension but still reduce axle-wrap. Taper the edges of the eyelets to increase articulation.
