    My current project came right off the trailer and straight into my garage so I don't know if this suspension mod works or not. (I have my doubts) I have always intended to cut all the wacky stuff off in favor of a more conventional set up but I thought you all might get a kick out of marveling at someones brain storm. Heck, for all I know it works great like this but feel free to comment! :D

    My guess is that it was sold to be installed like that. Likely a generic overload from JCW or Pep Boys a few decades ago.

    Maximum cheeseball...minimum articulation.

    Once you remove them, you will see that your leaf springs are beyond toast.

    Yes, cheesy. Remove and discard.

    I don't know... somehow it seems as though they should be saved for posterity ;)

    I kind of like them, except for those adjustable spacers, that's kind of overkill ;).
