I understand that the front leaf spring hangers are different between 68-70 Dodge and Plymouth B bodies. Looking for a photo or similar that shows the dimension of these style hangers from mounting surface of hanger to spring attachment bolt hole center? Thanks in advance for the help!

Joe,a Dodge spring hanger is 3 1/4" from the mounting face with the stud to the center of the bolt hole for the spring eye bushing.I don't know what a Plymouth is,but I think they are shorter. John.

Well I didn't think this was true when I read it so I went and checked!
70 Hemi GTX 4spd 3.54 Dana from mounting face to center of hole 2.5"
70 Superbee 440+6 4spd 4.10 Dana from mounting face to center of hole 3.25"
So I learned something new.
Hope this helps Joe Awesome! Thanks for the info.......I think this was a little known fact.....I talked with several knowledgeable B body guys and most thought the spring hangers were the same between Dodge and Plymouth.

Thanks for the info.......I think this was a little known fact.....I talked with several knowledgeable B body guys and most thought the spring hangers were the same between Dodge and Plymouth. I was in the same boat. I measured my GTX and when I went to measure the Bee I didn't need the tape, you could see it was longer. When I told my friend about it he didn't think it would be different either. Knowledge is cool. Merry Christmas
