MP sells 2 kits for the relocation of springs an offset(approx .75") set and 
a full 3" set. the offset set (.75") will require you to use a set of offset 
hangers in front and back as well as move the perches in to the desired 
spot, and uses the factory mounting holes. the relocating kit(3") requires 
you to remove the factory front hangers and a chunk of the frame needs to be 
replaced by the new chunk provided in the kit. the rear hangars use the 
frame rail as an attachment point and would need to be welded in or drilled 
into the frame and boxed/tubed, as well as relocating the perches. the newer 
SS springs have a shorter front segment that the original springs and would 
require a set of longer front perches either way or relocating them in the 
new frame section welded in on the 3" move. check out www.bigblockdart.com 
and they outline the whole proceedure on an A-body (same proceedure on B's 
and C's ) they will even show you how to do the minitubs. we did the offset 
hangers(.75") on my friends dart and it didn't make that big of a differance 
to make all the work worth it. he could have fit just as much tire in with a 
propperly backspaced rim. go for the 3" offset if your already relocation 
the perches and have a welder handy. Be carefull adding on race add-ons 
after add-ons as the car can venture to a point where it looses its 
drivability and is more work to drive than fun to drive....
