Dual leaf vehicle suspension with J-shaped spring element

A vehicle suspension arrangement for a vehicle of the type having a chassis rail and a longitudinal axle arranged substantially orthogonal to the chassis rail, the vehicle suspension arrangement comprising:

• a primary leaf spring having a plan view longitudinal configuration, a first end for pivotally coupling to the chassis of the vehicle at a first pivot coupling, and a second end for coupling to the chassis of the vehicle at a second pivot coupling, and a coupler portion arranged intermediate of the first and second ends;
• a secondary leaf spring having a plan view longitudinal configuration, a first end for pivotally coupling to the chassis of the vehicle at a pivot coupling, and a second end for coupling to the longitudinal axle;
• and
• a deflection limiting element coupled to a selectable one of said primary and secondary leaf springs for controlling a distance therebetween, the deflection limiting element disposed at an intermediate location relative to the first end and the second end of the secondary leaf spring.
