Re: Overload Springs

Interesting design! I've got two pairs, but they're different: They have mounts that bolt to the outboard of the frame, and they're single-curve, not that S-shape like yours.
They come down where the axle pad sits on the trailing arm, and there's an additional plate that mounts between the housing and the arm--it has an "ear" on it, with a rubber pad that the end of the helper spring contacts.
