Rear Leaf Spring mod with Durango Springs
I don't see why it wouldn't work, just measure your stock springs and try to find a set that matches like I did... leaf springs are leaf springs after all lol
^^^ x2 There's no reason it wouldn't. Just get some springs and try it. Worst comes to worst, you can put the old ones back on.
Thanks y'all for the support, this mod has worked great for me. The car settled down a bit from where you see it in the pic, but it still has a nice rake to it.
Also, The car does really well loaded down. I took it across the scales at my local scrapyard just for giggles one day and it weighed in right at 3800lbs with me, my tools and some random junk in it. It rides happily and handles very well like that too. I recently also hauled an all-iron 318 long block in it (along with the usual stuff, putting my estimated weight at 4300lbs) there was little increase in the body roll, though the car sure felt heavier. The extra 500lbs didn't even squat the back end though, It just put it down to about stock ride height.
With the success of this mod, I may consider pursuing a similar mod for the front end. notching and boxing the upper control arms and installing coilover shocks in place of the stock shocks, but retaining the t-bars. (universal coil overs don't cost a fifth what new t-bars do.) But that I'll save for another thread, if I do it. Its going to get an alignment, I'll talk about it with my suspension guy.
Oh, and Thanks 67Dart273, "Spring center bolt"and "spring clips" got it.
