[Spridgets] Quarter elliptic springs

Took me a while to locate the email from Tom Colby.  He removes leaves 2,4,6,8
on a 15 leaf spring, with number 1 being the long leaf.  I imagine removing 2
and 4 on the 10 leaf spring would work.  Ride height can be set by using
tapered shims under the spring where it bolts to the chassis.  Shims are
available from Napa - off the shelf parts.
