I'm building a new rear frame and forgot to neasure the distance between the front spring eye in the frame and the rear hanger eye in the frame. It has got stock rear psrings. Can someone measure it for me?

You're building a custom frame and using leaf springs???

I can measure when I get home if you're like btw.

Yes, I know the front eye location but that's all. The car was built in 70's and is brought back to the same configuration it was back then, leaf springs with 50" ladder bars.

I have a 66 Dart that I can measure today, if that will help. Will have it this evening.

The dimension on my 66 Dart is 53-7/8 inches from center of front spring-eye hole to center of rear shackle mounting hole.

Also, if you are going to use ladder bars with leaf springs, you will probably want to incorporate some sort of "slider" type configuration.

Thank you! I have somekind of sliders for it, in the 70's it was run without any! With the approxiamtely 50" bars it mus have worked great. There is no rod ends either, just bolts through a hole drilled to the tubes!

You may want to consider using sliders at the back also, to keep the spring rate constant and get away from the shackles all together at the back. Check out AFCOs' catolog for tech info on leaf springs and sliders. They sell the sliders too.

This will be kept "period correct" and done as cheap as possible; what I donät have I'll make.
