You might try adding F350 spring leaves, TamiyaUSA has them in various lengths 4 to a package for about $6 pkg. depending on length ordered.

Yes I accidentally posted this in BRICKNICKS thread and he wants the opposite affect

I had the same problem with my Scania - either try F350 springs as suggested by TRUCKMAKER, so you can build them up with as many leaves as you need....or swap out your front springs with a pair of rear springs from a European style 4x2 Tamiya tractor truck. These comes with an extra leaf in them, they are definitely stiffer and did the job perfectly for my Scania.

either option should solve your problem.
