Rear Spring

Hi, My minibus used to be a pannel van, and to say the ride is a bit firm is an understatement =]. There is a two leaf spring fitted on the rear, could i take a leaf out or should I get on of a tournao from my local scrapys when i get new fronts.
Thanks,Dave

My swb 100 only has one leaf, the ride on the back is better than the front, my fronts are so harsh :( make the CD player jump :evil:
