Compare pricing with Eaton springs for example...... http://www.eatondetroitspring.com/ From: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Bill M I'll second Ricky's recommendation on ESPO Springs N Things. I've bought several sets of springs from them and been extremely pleased.

half off the scale and stop on the way off). Surprisingly my ’62 wagon is split exactly 50/50. Scaled 4,080 with 2,040 over the front axle, with driver and full of fuel.

As we are talking about rebuilding the front suspension, I was wondering if anyone
knows the weight difference between the 318 Poly and a big block like a 383. I’ve got a 65 Belvy II, and was wondering about that. Also if anyone knows the weight distribution between the two?

On Behalf Of Hall, Ricky L If you are looking at new rear springs as recommended, here’s a good source both service and price wise. I did replace the
rear springs which on a wagon are already pretty stout, rated at 880# stock, with a 115# rate. And new U-bolts, bushings and shackles. They also have front end rebuild kits. I replaced everything with OEM quality rubber, no stiff squeaky urethane for me.
New idler, pitman, tie rods, sleeves. UCA bushings and ball joints. LCA bushings and pivot shafts, ball joints, upper and lower bump stops. Torsion bar adjusters, seals, clips.

On Behalf Of Bill M I agree...Definitely step up the at least the next size torsion bars. My car is a 381 Poly and I put "383" bars in it. It rides great! Also look into HD ~5 leaf rear springs. Those
cars are heavy enough that it won't be a harsh ride.
