Re: Help with new leaf springs

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

Are you planning on racing it or more street with a intermittent trip down
the track?  Racing, find a set of Super Stock springs.  According to your
post the latter, so, I would send your springs out and have them re-arched
saving yourself a lot of $$$.  Contact anyone that deals with trucks and
they will tell you were to get them done.  Any shop that does springs that
is worth there salt will know just what to do to get what ever height you
want.  Just measure were it is at now jack the body up to the desired height
and measure again tell them the differance.  Now, when you install the
re-arched springs it will sit higher than you asked for at first but they
will settle out in a short time.  If your set on new springs just tell whom
ever you buy them from how much higher you want them but, most of them only
offer a +1 inch option that tends to settle back to stock anyway!

Subject: Help with new leaf springs
 
I'd like to replace the rear leaf springs in my '62 Dart 440 but am a
bit confused about how to make sure I get the proper replacement
springs.
 
I'd appreciate some suggestions - is for street/occasional ( one a
year at the Mopar Nat's ) strip use.  I'd like the stance to be a
little more aggressive with the rear raised just a bit higher than the
front.
 
I bought the front suspension kit from Just Suspension along with
their 1" torsion bars.
 
Thanks in advance,
Brian
