My '56 3600 has a set of overload springs mounted to the rear axle directly below the frame. There is some interference with the rear shocks.
My FSM does not show these.
Were they a factory option?
if so are there longer lower shock mounts available?

What is FSM?

Here is spring information for 1956 Chevrolet trucks. Auxiliary springs are shown on the right of the chart.
