symmetrical leaf springs

I have this suspension idea and I need some symmetrical leaf springs. Does anyone know what vehicle I can rob a leaf pack off of that has equal distance from center pin to shackle on each side????????????

i have never seen that.

might i ask why?

the half mounted to the body acts as a control arm keeping the axle in place and is the shorter, hence sturdier half of the pack.

I have an idea for a rock crawler suspension. I need a pair of symmentrical leafs.

You don't need the control arm aspect with a ladder bar or something like it. I just don't know of any vehicle that uses a symmetrical leaf.
