I bought an old 63 Dodge and the leaf springs are really weak.

The car is a 4-dr Polara, but I'd like to do a little grudge racing with the 318/pushbutton.

What rear leaf springs will inter-change. Or, where can a get a good set of XHD Springs to use with the current 63 8-3/4 rear?

Espo didn't show anything on their website.

The '62-3 B-bodies use a 20" front spring segment, so you can use the popular MP 002/003 SS springs.

Mopar doesn't make a short version of the XHD spring but you might find an aftermarket supplier who does. Talk to Mancini Racing or Firm Feel or someone like that.

I make reproduction hangers for the early B body cars as well as super stock hangers so there are a few more options these days than there used to be.

Basically, they're an A-body spring length/segment seperation.

Any application for a Dart/Duster/Demon will work the same on this car.

I chose 456/457 Superstock springs for my '63 Dodge.

It's not on the road yet so I can't tell you how they perform...
