It seems that my 1971 D100 sags a little in the rear. I would like to stiffen up the ride and hopefully level it out with the front. I was thinking of swapping out the D100 leaf springs with D200 leaf springs. Is that possible? Are the mounts identical? I would assume there is another leaf or two t

Wheel hop, that's something the 'Progressive springs' with spacer don't help.

Just a reminder that if you leave the first eyebolt spring and just add in a few extra leaves where they fit you don't have to worry much about where the center hole is. Mine now aren't perfectly matched like 40"-30"-20" so that the spring tips are evenly spaced but so far I haven't caught anybody down on hands & knees measuring them...
