Passenger car vs station wagon leaf springs

[Timmayy]

This is for my 65 Belvedere wagon. A few years back I had the stock leafs re-arched and added a half leaf. They seem to be sagging again. Are the passenger car leaf dimensions the same as the station wagon? I do use the car for hauling stuff and am in the process of installing a tow hitch. When there is a lot of weight in it I don't want the tires to rub.

ESPO, Call them, tell them what you have, tell them how much weight you plan on hauling or how much extra height you want. And they will send you nice springs. Rearching springs is a tempory fix-waste of money and work.

Wagon has 7 leaves and different shackles, passenger car has 6 (unless they are SS which would be 6 on one side, 8 on the other).
I've never measured mine, but the top 2 are wagon, bottom 2 SS.
62 b-body would be the same as 2nd gen a-body.
