I have a IV with an UL engine. I"m on the grove gear with a three leaf spring tail wheel and a matco single arm.

Thinking of getting the T3 as I recently bent the forward welded tab on the spring gear and though it smacks of a side load issue, I think the T3 could help my rough field beatings.
Anyone flying a IV with a T-3 ? how is it? Longer landing for the change in tail angle? heavy tail at slow speed? Difficulty with tail low wheel landings etc?
Thanks
