Hi Dave,


Mornin' Jay; getting settled in?

I haven't heard of one breaking, but they do sag.

I pulled the Posie's Super Slider from my 32 perhaps eight years ago.
Nothing was wrong with it and it was working ok.

Installed a Durant Mono-Leaf in an effort to gain some front end travel.
(I should have notched the frame - you can bet the 31's frame is notched.)
The travel was gained, but now that it's sagged it's about to where the Posie's was.

I did add a 3/8" shim - in addition to all of the shims that Durant supplied - much more and part of the shim pack would be out of the crossmember.
Mines a Durant as well. I started with the main leaf half way between the shims. (have about 3" between the top of the axle - 4" Bell Tube - to the underside of the spring pack, but no frame notches) I ALSO have a Posie's spring - with the slider buttons - that was originally installed.

Mulling this situation over; I wonder if I took the # 2 leaf from the Posie's, remove one of the Durant shims and put the Posie's # 2 leaf ABOVE the Durant main leaf; if this would stiffen the ride too much?
