BEWARE OF ESPO SPRINGS

Having started with my 70 dart in 1970, I can assure you that the top of the wheel well opening was even with the top of the rims when these cars were new. It looked like **** and it didn't take long for my 18 year old self to install Gabriel Hi-Jackers in 1975! What you show is, however 2 inches over stock. 6 leaf springs were installed stock on 340, 383 and 440 Darts, so if you asked for stock springs arched 2 inches+ for a 273 car, you got what you asked for...

Did you use the technique where you measure the height of both ends of the LCA to set the ride height? Yours looks high to me, but then I like it an inch or two above stock - works OK if you can hit your alignment numbers.
