Running the Del a Lum with stock springs is what I do. The leafs in my pics are 1972 leafs. Also, the quickness, as stated before, allows you to run bigger wheel tire combo as the fast moving suspension now absorbs what the short side wall cannot.
You'll want to grab the 25 dollar bolt press GW sells to install the aluminum core in the rear frame rail.
Enjoy the ride !

Are you using the upside down spring eye in the rear?
