Silliest Thing You Ever Put On Your Mopar ?
Gotta go back to my original '69 340 Swinger that I bought used in November of 1969. I'd just turned 21 and my former wife and I had only been married a few months, no spare money since I was still in college and only worked part time. She worked full time but had only been working a little over a year.
I wanted my Dart to be raised in the back but couldn't afford air shocks. So I bought a pair of coil overload springs that clamped to the rear axle tubes right under the rear frame rails. They both raised the rear of the car for the look I wanted and stiffened up the rear suspension a bunch. The only problem came later when the rubber tubing wore off the top of the coils and you ended up with the metal coil banging against the rear frame rail when you went over a bump. Got a little noisy at times.
Yeah, I saved up for some air shocks soon after.
