Thanks Donnie and Dodger for your input. Dodger, you are right- I have never drag raced a Mopar since 1968 with my Road Runner. I don't recall any axle hop, but it was an automatic with only 335 HP. I am not sure I want SS springs because probably harsh ride. Also don't want to spend un-nessesary money for traction bars. I will call Cal -Trac, but for now my thought is either stock or heavy duty springs Maybe have them made 2 " shorter on the front half and use the hanger extensions. Those hangers have two sets of holes to mount the front spring eye, probably so ride height can be adjusted. If that didn't work for me, maybe I could add the Cal-Tracs later.................................................MO ----- Original Message ----- From: <Dodger7998@xxxxxxx>

Mo,,,,,,,,you have played with the X brands to long, most mopars that are streetable, can do just fine with a set of SS springs, or even rebuild ofyour originals, an adjustable snubber is all that is needed, the short front section of the mopars does not wind up like the longer springs used on theX brands In a message dated 2/20/2010 12:32:34 A.M.

Options are - SS springs or --stock springs or heavy duty springs with Cal-tracs. My thought is SS give to firm a ride for 300+ mile trips. How would the Cal- tracs ride with new stock springs or possibly HD springs? It wiill likely see some drag strip action. Anyone have the Cal -tracs and what do you think of them?..........................MO ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
