these are the rear leaf springs from my 55 willys.. this truck was a 4x4 3/4 ton

its now 2wd now the stock springs had 11 leafs 1/4 inch thick each
i figured(after haveing about 500 pounds of people jumping on the rear of the truck) they were a bit too strong since they really diddnt move any.
so here are some pictures of the springs before and after i took out 5 leafs
the springs are much softer and will privide a good ride
i took out every other leaf i need to get new alignment pins
