Well there is a bright side to turning 63, my 3 brothers from another mother got me these. I was absolutely blown away that they got them. Larry (64mopar) and his brothers Bob and Greg really surprised me, I had no idea that these were coming. Now to figure out how to use them with Superstock springs. I know I will need to replace the shocks. Are any of you running the Superstock springs with the Cal-tracs? What are you using for shocks! Thanks for the help.

Pretty cool dudes for sure!

I think I would take leafs out of the SS springs until they start to sag and then bolt on the Cal-Tracs.

I was thinking about the monoleafs and I still might do it. I know new shocks are on the agenda. Calvert make a set of 6 way adjustables for $238.00 Still have to pick up my transmission from Cope Racing Transmissions on the 15th and get that installed. Lots of work on the off season.

see above^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I read that calvert himself said ''not'' to use superstock springs w/ his stuff.
I have the full caltrac system on my street car , it doesnt handle worth a ---- !!
 
I’m running them with SS springs as I already had the springs, like you. Running Viking DA’s for shocks and everything seems to be working fine, however I’ve just started drag racing and tuning the car. You may need to grind on the side of the springs as mine were a little wide up front where the triangle bracket goes and it would drag. Took maybe a 16th off of both sides to get enough clearance.

Someday I’ll get their mono leafs as they are meant to work together, but doin fine for now.
 
If you go with monoleafs,I would recommend a swaybar or trackbar for street use.
