The 2" BDS springs are 4 leaf packs or used to be and will not hold up, even BDS says they will not hold up SOA and suggests the 3.5" springs that are 5 leaf packs or to add a 5th leaf to the 2" packs.

I bent up several 2" BDS springs front and rear and one rear set of the 3.5"s before I installed a traction bar and only bent the front 3.5"s after a couple years (fixed them in a press). The springs have lasted OK and have settled out.
