F3 rear shocks

Just asking for opinions. With 13 leafs in the rear springs would it really make any difference at all to put rear springs on an F3?

Rear shocks were an option, same units used on F-2s, but most didn't have them. You're right, they wouldn't help much.

I have the same springs on my '49 F-2, with standard shocks, it still rides like a buckboard. I personally like the ride but it sure makes me appreciate the ride of my '04 Dodge 4X4.

Thanks guys. I don't have a problem doing the work to add them. I was just wondering if it was worth it. I think I'll leave it without for now.
I've been in a vehicle that rode worse than the 85 Toyota 4x4 I had. Started everytime I turned the key, but 20T 6x6's rode better.
