Dave, several years ago I pulled a 318 out of an 85 dodge truck I had and dropped min a 440, the 440 is 200 or so pounds heavier than the 318, the truck was sitting on the rubber bumpers in two weeks with NO suspension left. I took the springs apart and added two leaves. I cut the eyes off of another set of junk springs and added in the other main leaf, then about halfway down the pack added another leaf that fit in with the stepped leaves. not only did it set the truck back up, but it was about 1 1/2 inches higher and stayed that way for the next 7 years!! you have enough springs to do that and not spend any money other than maybe u-bolts. poor folks got poor ways! but they work!! kssu Dave.
