You should see some over that leaf link... it wont be as much as going from just leafs
Thanks Mike
I was hoping for low 1.40's the best so far this year was a 1.44
I think it will do that if not a touch better once its dialed in

If you want you could cut the spring mounts off and center the axle... or cut the one side and shorten it.. but you might need the axle cut also

we were going to do that but when tearing everything down we discovered on the ds the axle was rubbing up against the wheel cylinder and put a nice groove in it( which I feel really blessed it didn't rub a hole in it while making a pass) so we are going to start from scratch and add ladder bars for a upgrade.
Gotta ya

That is a good find To bad it happened Take your time on centering the rear end in the car, it is not uncommon on Mopars to have what you found, the rear end is not center in the chassis What type of rear suspension are you going to use now, leaf springs with sliders , coil overs or ? Also what device, if your going to coil overs, are you going to use the keep the housing centered in the car? My Duster had coil overs and a diagonal link, that worked real well on the street and track I use to race another Duster years ago that had ladder bars with leaf springs with a slider set up on it and it drove real well also at the track, it wasn't a street and strip car though.
