    Parabolic, or get your leaf packs custom made, There is no reason why your rig wont flex and ride smooth.
    Off the shelf is limiting What area are you in??

    Parabolic mate .
    Westraliasprings.com.au Phone 0894515151
    Northernspringworks.com.au Phone 08 85226122
    First one in the west and the second in SA
    Better ride and good load carrying also a lot less weight than a monster spring pack

    Usually Strathalbyn, SA, but could be anywhere in remote Australia.

    Just completed a 4000km round trip from Adelaide to Brisbane and back with my new parabolic rear leaves + new coils.
    All I can say is fantastic, if you are only at or under GVM they are well worth it.

    I was towing our Jayco Swan Outback as well.

    You can make skid plates like I did on my other leaf 4x4.
    I used 1/4 in mild steel and welded them to the leading edge of the spring hangers
