Hi - I am replacing the leaf springs on my 70 and the replacement springs (9 leaf) have keeper straps on each end of the springs that are around the lower three leafs. The keeper are loose and slide off the sprigs easily but I imagine that will change once the springs are installed. Since the keepers were not on the original springs, I would like to remove them. Will the leafs slide out of place if the keepers are removed? Also, will damage occur if the keepers are removed? I am sure the keepers have a purpose or else the money would not have been spent in the manufacturing process.
I would not be replacing the springs but someone put 7 leaf springs under the car and the car does not have the heavy duty suspension.
Thanks
