Anyone  successfully modified an FC with  lower rate springs and a 
transverse  leaf spring strong enough for an FC?   If so, did it affect the  
vehicle's ability to bring home the weight of all the  swap meet  "finds"?

Wasn't there a heavy-duty suspension option that added a pair of leaf  
springs onto the rear of the FC? They only came into use after the coils had  
compressed enough to lower the swing arms to them. I haven't had an FC in a few  
years, but I remember hearing about the kit. It may have been an aftermarket  
kit, like from Helwig or someone.
