I had the stock rear springs on my 1936 Humpback panel truck, I put over 120,000 mi on that truck, I had a volare' front end on it and it rode great and I towed my car trailer with it too, it weighed right around 4000 lbs and the stock springs did a fine job. the only problem I had was finding new shackes for it at that time, I found a new set and everything went together just fine and worked great... I have been using a lot of mini truck springs on some of vehicles I have built lately. and they work well too. Ron...

actually removed a couple of leafs out of each side of my stock ones. Lowered the car wehere I wanted. They had like 8-9 leafs each side.

Thought about doing this on the 36, need about two inches. How did this affect the ride? Mine is pretty stiff right now.

I'm making a gasser out my '66 D100. I heard that I can rearch the springs to get extra lift?? Whats the average cost of having this done??
I had the rear springs done on my 1990 pickup with an added leaf. If I remember right the local spring shop charged about $350-$400.
