68 Nova leaf spring question

Slapper bars bend springs when they are not long enough to hit directly under the bushing. If I remember correctly Lakewood was too short. We used Competition Engineering on my brother's '70 Z28 because they were the correct length.

these are at the rear hangars not the front, have you seen it bend the rear?
