RE: leaf spring helpers?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, those are almost the same as the ones I had. The difference is they 
extend  a little to the front also. They really won't lift the rear end 
but they will make contact and prevent it from bottoming down under a 
load or bump. These were the ones on my first '64 in '64. My current car 
has an added leaf.
