making new spring packs

My idea that I am going to try is to keep my stock block, Add one stock set of springs (3 per side) to my stock pack but take out my stock overloads and use in their place a set of big rig trailer springs which are near 1" thick and have them bent to leave 1/2" clearence between the overloads and pads then I shouldn't need the stops anymore. Oh, The trailer springs of course would be new and 3 per side. I have been told that they won't sag at all under load.
I had a strong running truck that we put gmc topkick helpers in just like your talking and it great without any ladder bars,but a chit load of wieght in the rear now.
