Hey gang..
Has anyone here bought the Mopar Performance XHD rear leaf springs for their cars? I'm wondering if the ones they sell for the B-bodies are like the OEM ones with the 6 leaf (left) and 5+ 2halves (right)...

Any pics?

Were they painted black? Thanks for the pics.....

So, the new B-body set comes with the six and 5+2 configuration? The new E's don't.. They are all 6 leaf for both sides......

I have them on my '68, & now on my project '69. They've been on my '68 for at least 5 years now, no problems. Ride is good.
Yes, they come black, but have the standard "shelf rash." If you're building a show car, you'll want to repaint them.

These are the springs made in Mexico, that Chryco Psycho has had terrible luck with, as well as others.

Having said that, I have two sets of them myself, one set on a Charger for 6yrs with no problems.
I used POR 15 on them myself, its up to you, they come scuffed up black.
