I just pulled a few leaves out of the rear springs and here's how it looks. I like it. Getting there more and more.

I also took it out today and drove around for about an hour for the first time just cruising and it rode real nice. Ride was much softer and more comfortable.

Here's a little video I got out the windshield.

Why not just take all the springs out except the main spring & add airbags. Four bags, so you can load 20 buddies in the back.

I'm ok with how it is right now. Some other things to do first. Like more bodywork, upholstery, power steering, etc.
