I've used a couple of 7 leaf springs like yours, before I did my
conversion - they are referred to as GT springs, I believe, and raise the
car by about 1 inch. This can be cured in principle by using spacer blocks
but this will produce a lot of lateral axle movement. Moss do have 1 inch
lowered 7 leaf springs available - they give you the extra stiffness with
normal CB ride height - I'm using these on my car now and am quite happy.
