I'm looking for a new or like new pair of Mopar A body Super Stock leaf springs. They should be 6 leafs on each side. Checking before I buy new. I can pickup locally within a few hours of San Antonio Texas or pay shipping. Please pm with what you have.
 
The feedback I've gotten from friends and one restoration shop is that the MP springs in the past lost their arc after only a few years. Unless they've changed in the last couple of years, I'd avoid them.

That might be a good thing really. As I’ve also heard they add 2-3.5 " in height when new. So if they sag they would sag to perfection! Haha
 
My 002/003 S/S springs are about 6 years old and have definitely sagged about 1.5-2”, but honestly the car looks better now. And that’s with a 275/60 tire on a Duster.
 
I bought my super stock springs many years ago, and apparently got some good ones (Mexican? I don't know)
Mine haven't sagged any, have 5 full and two half leaves on pass side, six full leaves on the Dr side. But they sure never lifted the rear anywhere near two or three inches. Maybe 1/2" to 1" (and they don't sit level, but I never noticed till I measured for another guy on the forum)
 
Note for op:
If you want a PROPER set of ss springs, they will be biased so that the stiffer spring is on the passenger side. It will sit (slightly!) crooked with the right springs.
If you just wanna raise the rear, and don't necessarily want a pair of springs that WORK..... get two lefts or two rights. (Six full leaves would be the drivers side version.)

Can you post a picture of your car, love to see the ride height.

Ss springs are intended for drag racing. It’s not wrong to use two left’s at all if you just want a cruiser.

Agreed. Any spring you want that holds the car at the height you want is fine for a cruiser. But then there are probably better choices than ss springs.
And my car with ss springs is a b-body, so probably not helpful stance wise.
 
THe last pair I bought gave my car an awful lean. Made it look like the driver weighed about 600 lbs. I purchased a second passenger spring and leveled the car out and then added 2 inch lowering blocks to make it look sane. I may buy another drivers side and remove the lowering.
