Leafspring improvement

Because of the 2 propane tanks in the trunk of the Dart, the car tends to pretty much bottom out on the higher than usual speedbumps.
To solve that problem I added an extra leaf in the springpacks on both sides.
The car rides a little firmer now and I even noticed a little less body-roll in the corners.
To counteract any rise I also installed some homemade 1″ lowering blocks under the rear axle.

The car now has 7 leafsprings per side and rides over the speedbumps much better now.
