Does anyone have a photo of the ride height of a Dodge Dart or similar A-Body after installing Super Stock Springs. My sons 72 swinger is in need of some new springs and we were wondering how high it will set in the back when completed if we use the Mopar springs. You can e-mail me off-line if you like.

Thanks,

Rick

here are some very old pics of my swinger shortly after i got it. i had swapped the lpb discs and 8.25 axle in it and added "002/003" s/s springs as well. the rear sits level since i flipped the front spring hanger. my buddy's demon had similar springs but the rear is jacked up a couple of inches. pardon the crappy scan. i didn't have time to edit it.

Thanks James,

I think that is about the stance my son is looking for with his Dart. He would like to dump the air shocks and 30+ jear old springs. We just didn't want it to be to high in the back.

Thanks again,

Rick

mine has the 2800# springs, as you can see it is higher in the back and my rear tires are shorter than the fronts
