When I installed mine, I removed the snubber. So far, so good after at least a dozen 1/4 mile passes and 4,000+ street miles drive

For best results...NO snubber and dont use a mopar SS spring or multi leaf spring. Use the caltrac split monos

Yep, Cal-Tracs and SS springs do NOT play well together! DAMHIK.

I bought caltracs for mine as well and have already removed the snubber. Going to try to use the original floppy C body rear springs that used to be propped up with air shocks, and remove the segment clamps I have on them. If that doesn't work I'll buy the split monos as well.

Don't waste your time. Just get the monoleafs...

Thanks, it sounds like some people can make them work, but on old springs it might/probably will bend the springs and then I'm buying the monoleafs anyway.
