A decent spring shop should be able to re-arch them to whatever height
you want and paint them for cheap.  And add a leaf if you need it.  On
mine I measured from ground to top of wheel well.  Then jacked the car
up to where I liked the stance and measured again.  Gave the guy the
springs and the measurements and they came out perfect.  It was only
$170 total for both springs including adding a new leaf, paint,
bushings and new U-bolts.

> Thanks Gary. The size is the same but Mopar Action car did not use the SS springs. They used the springs that were used on 340 Duster type A-bodies. I think that part is called A XHD spring by Mopar Performance now, but I'm not sure. The magazine called them "Duster 340 A-body HD rear leafs" -- same dimensions as the SS springs though.
