Correct, with the nut all the way up, I still need another half inch at least.

Got my U bolts in today and they are way too long, I guess I didnt catch the length. Can I just put some spacers in between the nut and the shock plate? IM not gonna drive the car anytime soon, just roll it around.

I have a set of springs from Springking. I asked for 2" de-arch and got them way cheaper then the de-arched ones from anyone of the big suspension guys. I havent installed them yet, but sounds like you had a good experience from Springking, hope I do aswell. He does ship out fast for sure.

Those are the connectors i want for my car. Ive asked them about Early A bodies, and they dont make them yet, but do have plans for them.

They are stock replacements Im sure. I got them in today. My guess is he just followed the factory specs on spring rate. Will see how they do.

I found someone who makes springs and sells them on ebay. IM going to get de-arched springs for way less then alot of the other places out there,$160. His shackles are alot less then some others also, only $24 for both. I think he goes by springking on ebay if anyones interested. The two...

The older stock springs were made of better metal? Wouldnt that mean if the matal is worse on the new ones, they should use more leafs? Hmmm.

Hey guys, I found someone on ebay who builds leaf springs. Im looking for 2" de-arched leaf springs and he said he can build them for $160 plus bushings, which is an awesome price, however he said they would be 4 leaf instead of 5leaf. Anyone know why he would do this? Will the change from 5 to...

Did anyone get the rear disc brake setup from MP brakes?

Im 34 and still ask tons of questions on this site. And in regards to your question Ive read in magazines guys doing "frame off" restorations on mopars and i thought hmmmmmmm, how could they do that if its a unitbody? Some of them i think did remove the "frame" and use an art morrison frame...

Does he maybe have a rusty section of frame that needs to be cut out and replaced?

Cool, thanks. Now i have an idea what my car will look like with 17s. I guess ill really have to go with the 4.5 back space so that the front of the car can be lowered without my wheel rubbing. Heres a questions. If i lower my car another inch or two then the 1.5 inch drop you have, do you...

Thanks guys. I guess ill use the graphite impregnated bushings and regular shackles in back. Do you think the stock style shackles will be ok with my car? It wont be a drag car, but i saw some HD adjustable shackles.

Thanks for the links. Cool valiant by the way. I think I saw it on ebay a year or two back, did you buy it or did you just never sell it? I gotta say its the most exotic 64 valiant Ive ever seen.

Thanks for the links. I talked to the guy who sent my hangers and he said his supplier sends whatever color parts depending apoun which side of the bed he wakes up on. Im cool with these hangers instead of the black ones, I was actually wanting them in this yellow, but the seller never had any...

Hey i got my spring hangers in today. They were supposed to be black, but they came with the yellow coating on them. I thought maybe they were the wrongs ones, but they fit in the holes correctly. This set came with the studs in place, another set i was looking at didnt have the studs at all or...

Thanks guys. I got my leaf spring hangers in today. I thought they were supposed to be black, but they have that yellow coating on them instead. I guess its for strength? I put them in place and they seem to fit so I assume they are the right ones? The only reason why I ask is because the...

Ive heard they can be noisy, are they?

Has anyone used MP Brakes for the rear of your car? If so, how much of the emergancy brake setup do they come with? Does it go all the way up to the E brake handle?

Cool, ill wait then. Im gonna need a rear sway bar.

Will these work for Early darts?

I just found a guy on ebay selling alot of the rear suspension spring related stuff i need. Im getting the spring brakets and shock plates from him, but i found another guy on ebay who had the spring hangers with the 1" drop option hole (just incase a 2" drop from springs or blocks isnt enough)...

What do you think of these guys? They say they are heavy duty, but they also say they are stock replacements. These springs arent anything like the ss springs are they? I dont want them if they will bring the car up even higher then the regular springs...

I am gonna go with 4.0 to 4.5 back space rims so that should bring them in abit. Here is a pic of my 64 with my neon's wheels on it and they have alot of back space. I think they are 16x6.5" wide, with most of that in back space. Looking at the pic you can see that the neon wheels with all...

Sorry for "pimping your ride". I think 17s would look awesome on your car. Maybe if you and your son get some wheels before me i can follow your lead on back spacing and such. Also, i think 6 leafs were common for convertibles because of the extra weight from the top. The rearend i gave to...

I messed with these photos to mimic what 17s might look like on this 65 and 64 (the wheels on the 64 might be abit bigger, but i was shooting for 17s)

I no longer have the rear suspension, none of it. I gave the setup to a friend, so im starting from scratch. I think the stock ride height of the early A bodies is almost perfect, they sit abit lower then some cars. Im not sure but i think the following cars may have factory springs (no lowering...

Are the shock plates the same for all size cars with 8 3/4 rears?

OK, I want to drop the rear of my 64 dart but dont want to accidently drop it too low or lower then my front can go. How can I make sure this doesnt happen? Im gonna be using 17x7 wheels. Im running the Alterktion up front so I can lower the front of the car with the coil overs, but im gonna use...

Dont know if anyones mentioned this yet, but even though a v10 sounds like a cool swap, dropping in a new hemi and alterktion into your car would be cheaper and easier then a v10. The new hemi is lighter then the 273-360 la engines, and it only wieghs about 10lbs more then my old slant six. The...
