Superstock springs have a 20" front segment. They fit A bodies and 62-63 B bodies. Other cars with longer front spring hangers.

I believe he is looking for actual measurements from the front mounting surface to the center line of the hole for both the stock and long hangers.... yet I have no idea what DAY they would fit.. I would guess just on Monday and Friday... LOL EDIT It would also help if he would say what car he is trying to put the SS springs on so someone could give him both the front spring length and the proper hanger length

The amount of leafs in the springs should help determine what you have. Some have more, some less,

If I'm understanding the question the OP (i.e. 71GTX471) is trying to ask. He has two different sets of front spring hangers. He provides measurements of 4.25" & and 5.25". Without any part numbers, he is unsure what body they came off of or what springs the hangers may fit. I believe his subject line regarding "SS front spring hangers" may be adding to the confusion of the post. 71GTX471, Can you provide the spacing / measurement of the 4 mounting bolt? Perhaps it will be easier to first determine the body (i.e. B/C or A/E) these fit. Are there two set of mounting holes for the spring? A picture would be helpful... Also, check out the following link(s) which may give you a better idea regarding the number of different front hangers. http://arengineering.com/home-page/spring-hangers/http://www.manciniracing.com/maraspha.htmlhttp://www.manciniracing.com/mopar8.html Are either set you your hangers squared-off like these SS hangers look?

71GTX471,
From your feedback, it sounds like these hangers were B-body and for use with SS springs. Your statement is nearly correct however, Super Stock / SS Springs are not "2 inches shorter than stock springs" but rather the front segment on SS springs are a fixed 20" long. IIRC, most non-SS springs, will have a front segments 20", 21" or 22" in length depending on the body.
As a result, of the SS spring having a 20" front segment, depending on the body, the front hangers may differ in length to accommodate the body they will be used on.
Hope this helps clarify.

A bodys used 20 inch fronts Bs used 22 after 66. 65 and 64 were 21. IIRC 62 63 which actually werent B bodys were 20s.The MP hangers wont work on a 64/65 b body.You have to redrill them to fit without mods.You need to use the ones Andy a member here makes.For an A body SS springs bolt right in.

B/E-Body with SS springs(20" front segment)they should be 2" longer than stock.
