    What do you guys think about theas leaf springs?

    Would those be for 108 wheel base? I am looking for a set also and I believe my 70 Dart is a 111 wheel base. Would it be the same spring with the difference compensated for by hangars??

    Where to get a steering "rag joint"?????

    Good job!! Looks like the number 2112 which is a 30 dollar rebuild kit is the one for me. I could get by on the one I have but I cant see putting an old rubber joint on when everything else steering wise has been replaced or reconditioned except the steering box which was replaced about 30k...

    108 wb versus 111 wb leaf springs

    Ok now i'm well confused, I thought Dusters were 108 and Darts(except the Sport) were 111???? The year I'm talking about for my car is 1970. The reason I had asked in the first place is that I knew or thought I knew that Darts were 111 because I wanted to buy some prefabbed frame connectors...

    Clamping front of leafs as good as traction bars??

    SS springs overkill for my application, putting together a cruiser not a bruiser.

    Clamping front of leafs as good as traction bars??

    I believe that I will follow your advice. I really was only interested in running them as something that would have been on a street car in the early 70's. I've already got the stickers on the rear quarters, Doug Thorley knock off sidepipes, BFG TA Radials and stock ralleye wheels. There will...

    Clamping front of leafs as good as traction bars??

    I am setting my Dart up as a vintage street car from the early 70's. As I remember many people ran traction bars. I have read here that clamping the front of the leaf spring is actually better than running the bars. I was going to clamp the springs and run the bars for show only. Any thoughts...

    Tallest and widest tires?

    Yes you could get 245/60/14 under there but aren't the stock rims 4.5 or 5 wide? That would mean putting 9.5 inches of tire on a skinny rim. If you not really concerned with handling characteristics and want the eye candy thing, then go for it. If you are interested in better/best handling...

    Handling improvements Dodge Dart??

    Offset bushings, that's not something I am familiar with?? I do have a set of 892/893 bars to put in and I am thinking I am going to have a local shop add a leaf in the rear springs and arch them to raise the rear about an inch. After I priced ss springs and other replacement springs I decided...

    Handling improvements Dodge Dart??

    Already have the front factory sway bar with new bushings, have found an Addco 3/4 rear sway bar at summiy for a decent price, have KYB Gas Adjust shocks to install, still looking at 14 tires, selection is really limited, entire front end has been rebuilt. I don't want to shell out for...

    892 and 893 torsion from original 340 car???

    Quick question, a bud has a set of 892 and 893 torsion bars he got in a trade that were supposed to be from a 340 car. If they aren't from a 340 car will they work well in my 70 Dart with a 360 Magnum? I'm not looking for the biggest ones I can get just an adequate upgrade from the original /6...
