Mine had 7/1 thats 7 standard and 1 HD that some one heated and bent. I replaced them with another set of 7/1s but I took 2 out and softened the rear end up. My friend has an 86 swb with 3/1 factory. Point is Ive seen 1/1 and it only depends on how soft you want your ride. You can take at least one out Id say if it doesnt make it to bouncy imo. Or use 2" drop shackles.
