I used Chassis Engineering Inc's rear leaf springs on my truck but took one leaf out! Works fine!

springs

thanks brother that's what I wanted to here !!! did you get the HD springs? did it have 5 leafs?

Why don't you just set it up properly with the spring you have? I am assuming you didn't have the correct shackle angle when you did the mounts?

I've used their leaf spring kits on several and the one I use is the universal kit.
Here's an example and it rides great.

In 1988 I used their complete rear end kit and sway bar on the rear of my 37 slantback. It rode and handled like a dream. Also had their front end kit, axle, spring and split wishbone kit. Used their trans x-member kit also. You can't get any better quality parts.

I helped install the rear parallel leaf spring kit in a 1936 Ford coupe. Was easy with the body off.
Make sure they have what you want in stock. A friend of mine waited 6 months for out of stock springs.

Ah ok. Well no wonder they don't flex!

I thought you were running the stock Ford spring. Disregard...

I had a couple of CE spring kit's one on a 40 Ford pu and one on
my 48 Ford sedan it also uses 3 in blocks, can't tell you how they
ride though as I sold one and haven't finish the other... couple other friends have used them also and had good luck with them with a decent ride....
