Default Re: Helper springs for Model A

I am surprised that those auxiliary springs are cantilevered off of the frame rails. That is not a good structural practice, and it is especially not a good idea for 90+ year old frame rails. If it were my truck, I would change the attachment of the springs and locally box the the frame rails.
