...the Cal-Tracs transfer the load to the tires causing the rear to squat.....

Cite please. Publication, chapter and verse.

And I am still asking the original question, your quote: "SS springs and stock leaf springs with cal-tracs are two different types of suspensions "

How are they different and why? Leave the Caltracs comepletely out of it if you like, or leave them both in it, if you like. Apples to apples please. How is any leaf spring so different from any other leaf spring?

I could be completely wrong about this, Lord knows it wouldn't be the first time. I just cannot find anyone to explain this urban legend in any detail. So I'm out to de-bunk it.

"Raise the rear?" Sure SS springs produce a more pronounced effect in this regard, but it is the SAME effect as produced by stock leaf springs.

"Transfer the load" What load? Oh, you mean the same load that gets transferred when the leaf spring (ANY leaf spring) resists axle torque, raising the rear of the car?

Still waiting for some physics major turned gearhead to chime in here...
