Leaf Springs

[1970Moparmann]

Been reading and searching for about an hour now, but just can't find what I'm looking for.

On my 68, I want to lower the back end a little and put some 18" wheels on it.  What have you guys done leaf spring wise to achieve this?  I take it have to go to a company like Eaton to get something a little longer?

Or put lowering blocks in.

I had my caltrac mono's, set with a 1'' drop when I ordered

Mancini has a front mounting bracket that drops the rear 1 inch (has 2 sets of holes normal and lowered ) I just changed my springs and noticed if you were to put them on upside down (the brackets) it would lower the the car to (?).

 Sorry, I like the rear in the air.

YUP! Me too! Just put new rear springs on...love it!

Sorry, I like the rear in the air. 

i prefer the heads up display with the stability of the knees on the ground, toes out for balance, handcuffs............... oh i guess that works for yours also

ASSume the position! My car was "lowered" buy age, I got a great price from March Perf. in N.C. Todd's a good man to do business with

Careful of the Mopar Performance ones.  I got the same ones from Summit about 5 years ago and they sag like crazy now.  Eventually I will get ones from Espo who I have heard good things about.

Yep, just try flipping the front mounts upside down.

i was also looking @ the PST ones but they are mad expensive...cross that bridge when i come 2 it...

if you order springs from ESPO I believe you can ask them to "flatten" them out so the rear sits lower...       I have the mopar XHD leafs and plan on using a 2" lowering block for now - don't have the coin for ESPO springs...    maybe down the road.

After hearing my new MoPar XHD's may sag in 5 years I'm keeping my vintage XHD ones to re arch in the future (you can see the difference in quality).
