Things are escalating.

I'm new to this; my previous ideas for rear leaf spring mounts didn't factor for leaf springs needing to grow along their length as they compress. Oh!

You'd usually use shackles for this, but I don't have room for them (without lifting the rear of my car an unacceptable amount). So prototype 5000 of my mounts is a slider box with UHMW polyethylene bearings. I've seen the 4x4 people use these to good effect; it might work for me.
