Look under "caryt" "Pharmer" and my self and search by rear springs and these user names. We all did it a bit different but with similar results.
That is to say we got the results we wanted.
I originally used the middle (third from the bottom) and the second from the bottom leaf from the original G codes. It was more than I needed so I removed the second from the bottom and only have the one added leaf that must be shortened on one end. To shorten this leaf I cut it off at the plastic pad hole and drilled out the rivit hole from the bail or loop around the original G code to fit the plastic pad.
I did not use the F code variable rate bottom leaf but do have the original G code anti-wrap half leafs installed.
Modified F code might be a tad misleading:
What you do is disassembled the original g codes modify the mid leaf if you are using it and ADD one or more leafs to the new F code pack.
I think Pharmer used the bottom two leafs added to the F code and then the new variable rate but take a look at his pictures.
CaryT used B codes and I think the same set up he has pictures also.
I did some the original work on the V code swap in early 02 but these guys and others worked out the rears.
