Forgive me for being dense, but you mean the isoclamp bushings, or more?

And what was the reason you swapped in the Eagle axle?  For the lower ratio, or what?

Now this is the kind of thing I need to hear, because I want to not only fix the current sag, but also firm up the ride on my current Spirit, without making it too harsh.

By #2 spring, I assume you mean counting from the longest one down.  Must admit, never occurred to me as a solution to my sagging Spirit.  Guess I need to go buy that 86 Eagle wagon in the junkyard down near Staunton.  It even has the last best AMC factory digital radio/cassette player...  Plus they have a complete running 81 Porsche 928 for $600 I'd really like to grab... if only to sell off parts...

Do you have any photos online of your setup?
