Leaf spring old school

[geometryjeff]

New to site; Hi to all and Happy New Year. Trying to improve leaf spring geometry on 68 Camaro. I'm machining new front cups to allow about .8" move outboard per side; with the 1 1/2" per side move inboard at back, this will keep springs more parallel and flat with centerline of car. I've welded seams and welded framerail plates at front perch area for mounting solid and to anchor the rear of the frame connectors. This should help take load and secure a fixed position of the rear end and give lateral support for leafs. Any thoughts? Oh yeah - I know the newest technology is better, but I'm old school - except better with age.
