I make a rear spring that I use a heavier main leaf in , it is the same main
leaf that Rick Cline uses for the race spring. I have no problem with the air
shock fix , it does allow the adjustment for varying loads . The only thing
you should watch for is forcing the wheel into a positive camber condition ,
this should be avoided like the plague accompanied by AIDS. The heavier main
leaf helps maintain a decent ride height without raising the ride height too
severely. Remember all Spits should have some negative camber at the rear ,
as our suspension moves upward we gain camber at an amazing rate , this is
one of the major flaws of the swing axle. You want some negative camber , if
you have zero or positive camber the outside wheel on cornering will jack the
rear of the car up and cause terminal oversteer , please remember this and
look at the rear of your slew footed Spit and consider it as another
character adding quality .
