From the MOPAR chassis book 8th edition page 161 These springs should be purchased and installed in sets- one right and one left. these suspentions were biased from the factory. this means that the RIGHT spring is "stiffer" than the left. visualy this means that the RIGHT spring has more leaves(7 vs. 6 typically,) especially in the FRONT segment ( beteeen the center bolt and the front spring eye ). It goes on Hope this helps

ive got a few questions also regarding the ss rear spring setup. we had a lower shock mount stud break tonight, where would i get a new set of these so that i can run the newer dodge truck shocks as have been posted above.
the studs on this 69 dart are roughly 11/16 diameter and il need something in the 1/2 inch or slightly bigger range. actual measurement is roughly .565 or so.
also, to clarify this one more time, i should not be using the pinion snubber?
