Leaf Spring Flex Like the Jeeps & Toyotas Have?

Heres a pic of mine, Stock springs with snake racing shackles.
The only thing stopping me getting more would be my shocks.

Looks Good... How does it with Weight in the back &/or Towing ???

Do you still have the pins in the keeper shackles to get that much flex?

I was at Zordos picking up some gear last week and he was lifting an old GQ ute on springs and he had removed all of the keeper shackle pins to allow the leaf pack to open completely up (more down travel). The only limiting factor is the eye to eye length of the shocks. He suggested I give it a go on the rear to see whether it will give more down travel. I'll take some measurements later in the week and post them.

I tow my camper trailer and its no different to before the shackles went on.

I still have the pins in the keeper shackles although they are now bent outward.

Anyone researched into parabolic springs?
