Is this dumb or brilliant? You decide.
Okay. Either I have saggiest super stock springs around or they are just too long. Being the intelligent non-chassis fabricating person that I am, I have concocted an idea. So, try not to mock or laugh too hard. I am thinking I can relocate the spring mount at the rear from its stock location to the underside of the same area. This will prevent the leaf eye from forcing the shackle backwards as it tries to extend, also providing a little more lift I need for slightly bigger tires. Any thoughts? I can't afford to invest in another set of springs at this point. I already apparently got ripped off at the swap meet when I bought these. Or... is there another explanation for the crazy spring flattening out and backwards shackle travel? I know these questions are ridiculous to seasoned veterans of Mopars. This is only my second Mopar and first complete assembly from Ma Mopar. I am used to Chevies where everything interchanges and cost about $50.00. I am a diehard Mopar guy now. So, have some mercy before answering. Sorry, but pic came out sideways.
