Re: Leaf springs

["Ben Jr. Morgan" <polara_hotrods@xxxxxxx>]

I was reffering to the 66-70 mopar performance super stock springs by the 
way, which is what I have on my b-body 64 dodge WAGON, I gots the 3800 lb 
springs, and I had to measure backwards on the forward hangers something 
like 3" and drill new holes (they give you PLENTY of material on the mopar 
performance hangers.) Trust me, if you try to mount these up  with your 
current hangers, you're going to come up short. Order the new ones, they'll 
bolt to your car. You just have to drill a couple holes with a rather large 
bit is all. It'll work, I've done this to a couple of my cars.
