are these the correct rear leaf springs for my 69 cuda ? chrysler part number P4510268 and P4510269.

Those are Mopar Performance springs.

i put those on my car 2 years ago. it sits up so high i cannot get my rear shocks on it. the car looks like it's stuck in the 70's. i thought it might settle after sitting but it has been sitting for 2 years now. i'm thinking they sold me the wrong ones.

"sitting" you dont mean sitting as in not being driven do you? I would think they would need to occillatations/flexing produced from being driven to make em settle as opposed to just having weight on them. What about some lowering blocks? My 65 dart roller came with 003/003 SS springs & I needed shock extensions but the height was perfect & it rode very very nice. OP the P prefix denotes a MP performance part which would not be an OE spring if I am reading your question correctly

yes i know they are mopar performance items. i am still assembling the car so i have not driven it. it sits up so high that i cannot install the rear shocks. i even tried jacking the rear shackles back with a porta power. the car looks like it has air shocks on that are pumped up all the way.

that is surprising that they are that high but maybe mine were used/had settled (I bought it as a roller) and I ain't sure which of the 002/003's is the higher but mine had (2) 003's for a level ride but I did need a pair of those garden variety shock mt extensions that I happened to have laying around. Would some lowering blocks take care of you? I would want the rear shackles at a reasonably correct angle (lower end down & to the rear ~45 deg. EDIT 14's in top pic/15's below

You might have to get the springs reset if you want it to sit lower..

my shackels are pointed straight down. i tried forcing them back with a porta power but they will not stay. even with them being forced back to a 45 degree angle the rear of the car is still way too high. i can post a picture tonight.

Actually with more thought I think you are fine on the shackle angle but you will need to alter something (else) to get the car lowered. I'm still thinking lowering blocks

I have a 69 Dart. I bought my springs from Mancini. Many here on Moparts said the SS springs sat high, and they suggested using the heavy duty springs instead. That is what I used and I think my car sits perfect. I would post a pic but I have not figured out how to do that yet.

Hey pic worked!

what is your shackle length? if its too long it could force the car up. old 70's trick

I used B Body Dodge front spring hangers flipped upside down on Dad's 69 Dart. Moved the rear both back and up at the same time.
On my 70 Satellite I used the Mancini B body hangers in the top hole and still had to add 1 1/2" lowering blocks to get it to sit right. The more tire your trying to use the worse it is...

Love that Dart

I know that s couple friends who used those springs and put a couple hundred pounds in the trunk while the car was sitting before it was drivable.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. shackels are stock length.

sorry, have no idea how to post a picture anymore

it worked. rear shackel

WOW that is high.

(1) put some 20's on there! (2) dearch the main leaf(s) (3) lowering blocks
