the other problem (and lots forget this when looking at RUF) is the longer rear springs are a lot softer, even though they have more leafs |

What are you trying to achieve? Yes, putting rear springs up front can be a good thing (when set up properly), however swapping front for back will not work. |

they are too short they are too stiff they are too flat the locating pin is wrong so you will have a rear end that bounces like a wheelbarrow, jams the tyres into teh wheel arches and scares the crap out of you every time the shackles invert |

When you put your rear springs up front (RUF), you need to relocate the spring hanger. Same for putting the fronts out back (FOB), relocation is needed. Try taking out one of the longer leafs, they will affect it more. |
