Mopar S/S springs are the one "old tech" part that I won't use. For one thing I don't like the way the car doesn't sit straight from one side to the other with them and when I seen Dave's fiasco (in person) I couldn't believe it. I used to spend a lot of my paycheques buying Direct Connection and Mopar Performance stuff but after many expensive lessons I haven't spent a dime on MP stuff for several years.
Just run Cal Tracs and be done with it.

I'm sure glad Sheldon saw Dave's car like that 'cause I would have never beleived it myself.
Curious now to know what the part numbers are on those springs. 
I had an old '57 chrysler once that someone put a tad too short of a spring in the right rear...when you hit a good sized dip in the road, the shackle would "flip" forward too far and jam the spring like that....about 4" higher on that side until you hit another bump!!
There are different front hangers for Dodge and Plymouth (Dodge ones are longer) maybe he had Plymouth ones in and made the spring too short. I'd be curious to know what spring #'s he had. I know one part # says shackle must be relocated if used in a B body. This is my old 69 Bee with 3400lb ss springs.

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.
