on 68-70 bbodys there are differances between dodges and plymouths
when you change out the frame rails they are the same.

what is not the same is the mounting points of the rear springs
when you change that part you need to know which one you are using..

the rear springs are the exact same on both ply and dodge
what is different between dodge and ply
is this and i will use ebarf to show you...

thats 2 different parts....one for dodge and one for plymouth
obviously when he changed the rails he changed his mounting position
he just needs to use the right parts that will fit so
it will go back together correctly





the fly in that ointment is that the DODGE hangers are LONGER than the plymouth hangers so if he had the wrong hangers , dodge on a plymouth it wouldn't be too short .

what i would do is put a piece of wood that will fit between the shackles between the frame and the spring and lower the body till you can get the shackle into the spring and the frame WITH THE BUSHINGS INSTALLED . then get all the weight on the springs so you can get the piece of wood out .

if that doesn't work then I would have to think something wasn't measured properly or the jig was off ???
