bugeye rear springs

I recently fitted new 10 leaf rear springs. The arse was up in the air & really hard.
There's always more than one solutions, but this one works great:
Take the three top leaves & put them on the bottom. This lowers the car & makes it a little softer (more like the original springs).
Many thanks for this answer.

Excellent!

I had a similar solution. I remove some springs, and then used a wedge to get the ride height down where I want it. It is still about 1/4" higher than the front, but I think it will settle with time.
