In what way, specifically, do you think am I dangerous &/or unsafe?

Did you secure the Ute load leaf to the spring pack with some form of clip to prevent it from twisting out of alignment or does it just sit there?
I'm presuming that it is flatter than the stock spring pack & is pushing down on it, forcing the original spring pack to flatten out. This of course dramatically increases the spring rate in the opposite direction, i.e. it prevents or severely restricts the body from rising above a certain height after the spring has compressed when passing over a bump in the road.
I imagine this would result in a very harsh ride with the rebound coming to a sudden stop half way through the normal suspension travel, meaning that under 'sporting' conditions the inertia of the rising body will momentarily tend to lift the wheels from the road.
In reality the result would most likely be a momentary reduction of tyre pressure on the road surface as it tries to lift. Now that'll be something to look forward to on a wet night when punting it hard round a tight right hander, particularly with a locker diff.

This doesn't sound to me like the action of a suspension that is safe, but perhaps there are some here who are truly knowledgable that can reassure me that it is.
Did you install the Ute load leaf right way up or inverted.
Any pictures?

A great many on this forum seem to want to simply remove spring leaves or invert one or more, or invert one & place it on top. All of these practices fall under what I termed "Quick & easy" however spare Ute load spring leaves are not commonly seen & sourcing some is not 'easy' for most people most of the time. You were fortunate to have access to some.

None the less, forcing one spring leaf [or stack] down with another one strikes me as being entirely counterproductive & I wonder why it is a practice that is not widely adopted by racers or suspension specialists as the economic benefits are plainly there for all to see. I also wonder how many successfull racers use this method.

I have no idea whether it would pass muster at rego time either. Perhaps someone who actually knows might enlighten us.

Sometimes it's necessary to utilise the services of professionals to achieve the right result, ... for example, very few will bore out their own engine with makeshift tools, it's really a job for a professional with the right equipment. As for me, ... well I'm not in a position to readily source Ute spring leaves or to do my own spring resetting, hot or cold, so I'm left with few alternatives.
I would venture to say that the vast majority of forumites are in the same position.

Now, tell me again, ... specifically, why am I dangerous or unsafe? I'm sure we would all like to know.
