Hi,
Can anyone shed some light on how or what can be done to stop the rear load leaf spring from curling up.

I have had Carrol springs flatten them and they have again curled up.

When load leaf curls like this the car flex is greatly reduced.

Anyone experienced this problem and can shed some light on a fix.

Cheers
David

get rid of it get rid of the problem. it will flex HEAPS better too. shouldn't notice any real height difference either.

OK, have taken load leaves out of rear spring packs, but car is still rigid as. I have 2 spring sets 1 EFS the other Kings. is one better than the other? The only difference I can see is the EFS ones have a removable bolt and steel tube that would allow springs to separate when flexing, the kings have clamp around spring pack that holds them together. Just wondering how many leaves you guys are running in back and front.
Haven't driven car with load leaf out yet but I don't think the ride will change it still feel rigid.
Any suggestions would help

cheers
David

I have seen guys open up the clamps, so that they will not restrict upwards movement of the leaves, but they still act as a guide when the leaves are lowering.

take one of the longer springs out, 3rd or 4th. this will make the pack softer. the load springs only really work just before it hits the bumpstops
