Kevin,
   I made new rear springs using 3 main leaves, 3 second leaves and 2
smaller leaves each side. had a 1962 falcon 4 door sedan 101 hp engine.
Pulled a 1942 Trotwood 16 footer weighing in at about 6000 lbs. [ everything
I owned ] from Massachusetts to Arizona back in 72. Pulled the grade up off
of white sands missile range at 10 mph. I had to learn how to deal with the
wind from passing trucks on a daily basis, jacknifed in Oklahoma City in an
ice storm. It was an adventure! The trailer was ALWAYS IN CONTROL, it wagged
me. I would not recommend it.
