I installed some Year One heavy duty (440/hemi) leaf springs into my 70rtse when the car was restored. The car sits a tad low but I'm ok with the look and ride. Unfortunately however, the springs have flattened out a bit and force the rear shackle "past vertical". The shackle is angled back and is rubbing on the bumperette bracket causing noise. Any remedy with the bumper itself to provide clearance or do I need to cold arc these springs. Maybe add another leaf? Replace these Year One versions with better ones? Suggestions needed - Steve
