Re: SS Spring thing

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I measured my stock springs on my 64 Dodge B body yesterday and the front 
part measured 20" . They must be stock springs, there is no front spacer. 
Herb is well informed, but something doesn't jibe--- The Question

62-63 used 2in shorter springs than 64-65s did or a 20 in distance from pin
to bushing.  That is why 4s & 5s that use a 22 in distance, need the spacer
to compensate for the shorter spring length between the dowel or axle center
& center of the front spring bushing to make the SS springs work.  As MO
stated less spring wrap up in front of the axle makes better pinion geometry
 I used the 3800lb on my 63 and of-course no spacers.

I'll measure from the center of the axle tube to the center of the front
mounting hole.
