What condition are your spring packs in? If the leaves are separating and the arch is not even ,then its new spring time.

One of the problems the MWB and SWB have ,is the rear springs are the same as the 60 series springs which is 200kgs heavier with most of that on the rear springs.
Even with standard or light duty springs in the rear they can still be bouncy.

If your spring packs are good you could try removing one of the centre leaves.
Owners who use them in competitions often only use 3 leaves in the pack with them being reset into a tighter arc.
Of course this solution gives your springs a shorter life and limits load carrying ability.

what brand name of shock absorber are you using. Some shocks give an absolutely miserable highway and dirt road ride (i.e. Rancho 5,000's). Look for highly velocity sensitive shocks like Bilsteins, or ultra soft shocks like Doetsch-Tech MV-12's.
