I've used Landrums on GM applications. They are good units. However, verify dimensions of their mopar springs before plopping down your money.
Many aftermarket spring providers, particularly oval track companies, base their mopar design off the kit car spring dimensions. The kit car has a 20.5" front segment length compared to 20" SS/A body and 22" B/E body.
I just installed Hyperco composite rear leaf's and they ( as HP2 said) have the 20.5 front segment.

Ya after I saw yours! I went with the 175lb rate. Car sits about an inch lower than with the ESPO plus 1 1'2" steel springs. I do notice the 1/2" that the rear end sits back but It's not a real big deal. I'll get used to it . I used DrDiff's 1" offset shackel kit and front hangers. Had to use the hole ( on the front hangers) closest to the ground as those 3 bolts that hold the spring to the mount would hit the body. It's all good as it's as low as I'd want it to go anyhow. I did have to screw around with washers so it would fit snug in the spring hangers. FYI
Here is a before, then after picture.

Drill a new center pin hole in the main leafs and problem solved. Im considering combining a set of Oval track springs with a set of Hotchkis springs to try and make one good set of springs. The Oval Tracks have the 20.5 front segment to.
Mopar to the bone!!!
