Ive got two sets of garden variety 4 leaf spring sets for a B body. I'd like to combine them together to increase ride height and stiffen the car up? First of all would this even increase ride height or am I missing something simple that would prevent it from doing so?
Second, is this safe to do? I know its not the right way, but does it pose any problems with safety that are possibly serious?
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

a prior owner added MANY leafs to my 74 valiant so he could haul blocks etc to swap meets. the height is increased, it hasn't posed any safety concerns other than when I run over a piece of gravel & the added leafs make my head bounce off the roof & I see stars for a few seconds
