Arch is gone on my 40+ yo SS springs. I run 28” tall drag radials so I’m thinking +2” springs would be best. But let’s see some pics with tire size.. thanks

I don't have 28" drag radials but I do have +1" springs and the car sits quite a bit higher than I was expecting.

Hey Mike,
Got MT SS ET's (28.8") 275/60 R15's on SBP 15's. My springs came with the car but appear to be old SS'ers standard location. With your offset spring setup, guessing you can get a lot more tire in there if you want/need to.
Be well,
Pat

SS 002 003 springs mini tubbed with 29x14.5 tires on 12 inch rims
Did you move the rear axle back at all or open up the wheel opening? I can't fit a 29" tire on my Duster unless I do....

Yes, not much separation or rear body lift when taking off hard or brake torque, kind of a bouncy/ bottoming feel when driving.
I'm not sure what springs @jimjimjimmy is running, (SS 002/003's maybe). But I do know he has the offset shackles and is running 325-50-15 Nitto 555's on his 70 Duster if that is any help to you.

Hi Pat, the offset is about 3/4” I run nitto DR 275/60/15 that are about 28” tall, but actually it almost looks like they slightly rub the spring, these nitros have a bulbous side wall, I have the repop 15x8 rally rims which has I think 4.5” backspace. I’d like to check out your car. Let’s try connect soon ..

-1” caltrac mono setup with 275/60/15
Cut 3/4 " off the front and moved the hangers back 1/2 ". Went to 28x14.5 and there was more clearance . The chrome stone guards on the rear were there because the tire would rub on hard dips with the 29's and they protected the paint . They didn't rub at all with the 28's. Here it is with 28x14.5's there was a lot more room.
Sinister looking. I like it.
Yeah, I can fit 28's as well but really want to run 29's.... lol

We can do that. I want to say my Centerlines are 15x8" w 4.25" back space. Car's on the lift now but we can drop it on the ground so you can take a peek no problem.

I'm out of town for work but I can get you one by the end of the week if you aren't planning on buying them in the next couple days.

Thanks man! I'm at 16" now. I think the +0 springs may take car of the sag and get me the looking I'm going for.
