My plans for my 69 Dart Swinger 340

I plan to do a bit of a raked look on my 68. I’m gonna go with SS leaf springs to achieve it. I’m also gonna gonna go with manual steering as well. There are some aftermarket brake kits that give ya the option to keep the small bolt patten but big bolt is also readily available
Avoid SS leaf springs if not a drag car, as the SS leafs are not equal construction left and right and therefore not symmetrical. Additionally, avoid Mancini leaf springs as one of the two SS leaf springs I bought from them the main leaf arched the wrong way the last 4 inches. When I raised this concern to Mancini they said “We have sold hundreds of these and you are the only one with this complaint so it’s not a defect, therefore if you want to return them you pay return shipping.” I opted not to spend $100 in shipping to get $220 refund. Not long after that another member had a problem with Mancini SS springs during install due to that bad main leaf in one of the spring packs bending the wrong way the last 4 inches. So I shipped him the good one of my SS set and he was good to go using matched good leaf springs, basically a 340 HD spring set at that point. In other words, call ESPO for good leaf springs you buy once and Mancini if you want to waste money on junk.
