My flex was cack with the add-a-leaf springs even after my usual battering the shit out of them!

Used to get loads of flex on mine, just such a bloody uncomfortable ride. But they will probably destroy your top leaf as on compression it dose tend to bend it the wrong way
maybe our idea of 'loads of flex' is different :lol: it's not gonna flex any better than standard with add-a-leafs :P
I must have just got really lucky with mine :lol: Like many things on the old girl. Should never have sold it :bawling:

Confession time. After looking through some old pics and paper work. I only had two leafs and the aal per corner, I suppose that would help flex?
