Leaf spring question

[Redd]

guys hey. the drivers side rear spring is sagging on my pzj. i have an extra spring pack i bought scrap, so i have extra leafs. i know the ideal is to buy new springs, and ill get round to it, but for the interim i want to add another leaf.

should i add a long leaf or a short little one?

regards,
Redd .

Interested in this as well as hearing thoughts on swapping the rear springs with each other in order to combat some cruiser lean.

New springs are in the future, but for now if I'm thinking about trying this.

I would add the long one.
Another option might be to have both the rear springs reset or "rearched" as the americans say.
Its not a permanent solution but its a better one than having an extra leaf on one side,which may give some odd handling characteristics.

I was talking to the owner of the suspension shop I go to about the lean my 75 series is developing. He says it is also partly caused by the front spring ,diagonally across from the weak rear spring,pushing the rear one down.
Just something to keep in mind.
