It was the style at the time...



Clarence is always an issue...especially with the wagon trails we have for roads around here...good luck!

Nice Steve, always enjoy seeing pics of your car!

Bet the 300# leafs help control squat!

Thanks.

Help control squat and no rear sway bar is needed.

At the time I purchased the CalTracs Traction Bars those were the Landrum leafsprings John Calvert was recommending with their use.
Now today today its Calvert’s Split Mono Leafsprings.

1970 called…..

Seriously guys anyone can jack up the rear suspension to the moon and anything’s gonna ‘fit’.

It takes some careful figuring to get something that actually does fit without having to raise up the car.

I need to find a picture of my car launching, I have Calvert split monos and Caltracs and the rear body of the car actually rises as the rearend is forced down. I may have a video somewhere.

Pretty sure my multi-leafs are #220 but would have to check.

Wasn't sure if they were going to be too much but am now thinking not!
