OK, thanks.  Just what I expected.

I've noticed that AMC leafs tend to sag pretty quickly -- like after only a few thousand miles (I remember them doing so when they were new, too).  Has anyone beefed their leaves up any to correct sagging?  What's the best way to do it?  Add a second long leaf to each spring?  Helper springs?

I think you mean 2WD springs are flatter?  I would think the Eagles would need taller arches for their additional ground clearance.

Thanks again!
