Hi all,
My Ex-MOD 109 Ambulance that now has a basic flatbed with canvas top has a pretty intense "bucking" when I go over any kind of road bump. My suspicion is that it is related to what are likely heavy-duty leaf springs on the truck to accommodate the initial ambulance back. It definitely has the long MOD shackle and leaf springs that have 8 "leafs" in them. I am likely going to take off the springs and either grease them or put UHMW tape between them (i have read all the debates here about that), but what my question (finally) is whether I can/or should remove any leafs while I am at it. I see lots of posts out there about 2 or 4 leaf springs, but nothing related to 8 leafs.
Anyone have any thoughts about best way to go assuming I don't want to go towards new parabolics and just try to make the best of the original MOD springs?
Thanks!
