does any body out there know if there is a company that offers an off the shelf leaf spring for a 74 dart with a 440 based stroker that is not a super stock or xhd or mopar performance for that matter i talked to the spring king who has some american made 6 leaf springs for a 67-69 dart that he says will work and has the same arh as a regular leaf spring i dont want it jacked too high up in the back and i have been hearing crumby thins about the m.p. springs and would rather not spend 200.00+ per side for custom springs my car again is a 74 dart 2 door with a 72 model 8 3/4 rear a 493c.i. 440 and a 727 torqueflight subframe connectors and spring relocatio/minitub if any of this helps and if every one thinks that the m.p. springs are good can they provide some ride height pictures of the xhds and superstocks thanks for taking the time to read this any imput would be much appreciated

been good reviews for espo springs and for jr springs from jc witless. I ordered a pair of A body springs from jcw and only 1 arrived and it was an F body one (elongated eyelet) & after multiple ph calls, it was a mess and the various help I spoke with couldn't get it right and their parts numbering system under control (I understand it's better now) but if I order from them again it will be w a credit card so I can cancel the charges if it's still the way it was. But there's alot of happy users w their springs from what I understand

check with "Springs N Things" a lot of guys here use there springs. The super stock springs will raise your car 1.5 to 2 inches and most people complain they die after a couple of years.

Yes - call them. they are a small but excellent operation IMO. A few years ago they got swamped by spring requests so they too the listings off their site but they still sell them. I have 2" lift springs from them on my Duster with no sagging after a number of years. Excellent.


If Cass recommends someone - its top notch.


Give them a call and tell them what you want.

I went with ESPO HD springs and my charger looks and hooks better now. They are very nice, stiff to.
