I have more room in the rear with 255 tires on 15 inch rims. My car is pretty low though, especially on the front. I have 215/60 r15 tires on the front, when straight I can't even fit one finger between the tire and fender, it's perfectly tucked, slightly rolled inner fenders, but it can't get...

I have SS springs and 4.10 gears, its a blast around town, traction is an issue but im just on street tires. The 4 link isn't needed for what you are doing I don't think.

I lowered my dart now I scrape my headers on pretty much everything lol

I have a 73 swinger with an LA 360 and dougs headers and it clears everything perfectly. But I put in new spool mounts as my old ones were a bit wore out. It could be that your mounts are doing the same thing.

When I did mine I just took all the bolts out and started whacking around the ball joints with a hammer on each side. That and heating it up a bit with a torch made them pop right out!

I really like the stance! looks really nice.

Yea it seems like air, I guess it will sort it's self out when I start the car. It worked fine before so I don't see why it wouldn't work still.

I have a power steering leak in my 73 dart. Prior to swapping the 318 and putting the 360 in I didn't have a leak. And I never disconnected any hoses to the power steering pump. I got it all together and was turning the wheel to do some brake work. I haven't started the car yet either. I was...

Yea I'm planning on getting rid of those air shocks anyways, and I'm going to try and will add some handling mods once I start to get into the suspension. I'm putting in a new 8 3/4 soon so I will just put new leafs in then. Whats so good about bilsteins? The saggy side leaf does kinda...

Took a look at the leafs and there are numbers on both of them, but they are the same. The number is 03BE and 3572 beside it. I think they are just stock leafs, and probably just saggy so It's probably good to replace them anyways.

I dont see any numbers on them. So I think they are just saggy. I have to adjust the t-bars anyways, it turns out the parts in my new motor are wayyy lighter than the old one so it sits too high. I checked by putting jacks under the frame rails of the car and letting the rear axle down, it...

Would have the right height difference for that. Where would the number be located? because I couldn't really see anything. And yeah, I've heard that they do help the car hook pretty good, so with my new rear end I will probably put new ones in.

There is only one air supply so that could be one reason, and it is possible that something is broke, it looks like on the drivers side spring one of the leafs is a bit crooked in relation to the others, and thats the sagging side, so it would make sense.

Thats what I was thinking, should be able to mostly adjust that inch out. But I really just need to springs to last a bit longer, I'm going to put together an 8 3/4 soon to drop in, and ill put new leafs in as well. There is a bit of an arch in them. But the air shocks are lifting the rear...

Rear shackles seem to be in the same position. Currently the engine is out of the car still, and its been out for about 3-4 months now. Ever since I had the car I had a feeling it was sitting lower on the left rear, never measured till now though. But the car drove nice and straight and...

The first pic is of the right and the second is the left. As you can see there is over an inch difference in height.

Both have 5 leafs, and they look identical so I assume they are the original ones.

I wouldn't doubt that it has them, this car has suprised me before. It would be the drivers side that sits a bit lower? Because it's really not by a whole lot. I'll look for a part number today.

I just got new tires for my 73 dart today and installed them, and because they are bigger and they fill up the fenders more in the rear I noticed that the wheel goes into the fender more on the rear drivers side. The previous owner installed air shocks, so I assume that the leafs may be kinda...

Hopefully you can find one to rent, doesn't make sense to buy when when you will use it once and leave it sitting for years till you lose it or need new ball joints!

Looking back I maybe should have while I was at it. But I didn't really think that they needed to be replaced. Not really many miles on them, and everything seemed nice and tight. Only reason I even replaced the ball joints was because the boots weren't sealing well, the ball joints actually had...

Yea probably needs replacing then! And I got it at a partsource, I don't know if you have them near you but it was a pretty great deal, 59 dollar deposit and got it all back when I returned it. Made the job really easy!

Yeah I didn't replace the bushings otherwise I would have had to torque those bolts with the car on the ground. And yea those pickle forks and an air hammer would have made the job so much easier! well I guess i'll know for next time. I just went and rented the socket, pretty good deal, and...

Okay good glad to know everything is good! Happy to be done! And are you talking about the bolts that attach the spindle to the lower ball joint and upper ball joint? Because I never actually took out the torsion bars or anything out of the LCA. I left everything in place, and when I put it...

So Everything is installed and torqued down to the correct specs. But I noticed that with the castle nut on the upper ball joint came with a thick washer. If I used the washer I couldn't get the cotter pin through the hole because the washer pushed the nut out too far. I took the washer out and...

They are all out! Had to heat them up with a torch but they are out. I'm just cleaning everything up now and I'll put everything back together.

I have a manual so I will look up the proper torque numbers. And I got the socket, and its a 3/4" drive, so my grandpa has this massive breaker bar with a 3/4 drive, I unscrewed the upper ball joints with ease! So far I have the inner/outer tie rods out and one of the upper ball joints. I got...

Well I got the tie rods all out, I'll find something tomorrow to get the upper ball joint screwed out. I'm still having issues with the lower ball joint, I put a whole bunch of wd40 on it and I'll try again tomorrow once its had time to soak. And yea I have a pickle fork but because I'm not...

So I'm trying to replace the upper, lower ball joints and the inner and outer tie rod ends on my 73 dart. It has factory front disc brakes if that matters. I understand that the upper ball joint is a screw out type, but I'm looking for the right socket for that. I can rent one locally but...

I have a 73 dart as well and yea its 5x4.5, it nice because there is not really a limit on the types of wheels you can put on it.
