Do you have your leaf spring clamps on the wrong way? I'm putting mine back together and noticed yours are on different then mine. I doubt it affects the function of the spring any. This pic shows the clamps on Dave Waldens Challenger. The rubber insulator is on the top of the spring...not the bottom. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/upload2/4502617-Dsc05279-1.jpg

Today I was able to get some little things done. I installed the dual exhaust bracket, tip hangers, brake hose bracket, pedal assy, dome light wiring, fender splash shields, axle bump stops and the k frame bolts. I got my tie rod sleeves into the evaporust which revealed some yellow paint on one end of each assy. I also cleaned some of the buffing compound off of a few areas, It felt good to take parts out of the "ready to be installed" totes and throw away some empty bags.

I was hoping to have gotten the front suspension together by now. Unfortunatley I got the wrong part in the right box (the spindle mounting bolt holes were too small) on one of my lower balljoints. I have to wait for Rockauto to refund my $.  The good news is that Amazon sells them (Moog) for the same price so I won't have to pay for shipping. Tomorrow list of things to do includes: 1) Fuel and brake lines 2) Gas tank & straps 3) Refinish tie rod assy's and mount them to the centerlink. 4) Start on the headliner installation.

Sounds like you got a drum brake ball joint. The ball joints are the same just not drilled to the bigger size.
