So just a stock replacement
Not at all. The springs lower the car and the provided hangers lower it as well when used in conjunction with the springs. Two inches overall IIRC.

So what if I replace the bad Springs? I have on my duster now, with these..
It sits possibly the same. BUT corners better.

The reason I'm asking is because I had gotten them on a another deal and it turns out that my current duster needs.Leaf springs so I was hoping that they would work
I don’t think my car sat any higher with the Hotchkis springs installed than it did with the 45 year old, worn out factory units. However, the spring rate is much better and it corners/rides much better.
I went thru some pics to verify. The pic w/o center caps is with OE springs and with centers is after the Hotchkis install.
Maybe if you tell everyone here what you actually want to DO with your car, you'll get some more useful answers.

Sry I just had the springs from an earlier deal...then got another duster. That needs rear springs and remembered having theses. Not knowing anything about them..when they were giving to me..I was thinking it was worth a shot to see what they fit
Did you end up using these or go a different route?
