68 dart with super stock springs and I am moving the springs into the frame rails. Got ready to drill hole for rear spring shackle mount and I notice there is a already a hole in the frame rail but is forward about 1/2" from the stock location. It looks as if the shackle needs to be moved forward with the super stock springs anyway and I wandered if anyone else had used this hole? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks,
Roger

When we did my Valiant I got some thick wall tubing and used those holes w/no bushing.

When they did my old Dart they used thin wall tubing and bushings in those holes.

when i did my 71 dart 4 door i used those holes. i welded a washer to both sides of the frame too to reinforce it.
