Where exactly does it not fit? The rear of the spring or the front of the spring? I'm not sure what you're talking about. The rear suspension should have enough play to move the springs side to side to get everything hooked up? 1/2 inch isn't that far??

Maybe you can back the nuts off the front spring hangers until they are flush with the ends of the studs, then pry the hangers rearward to hook up the rear shackels, then tighten the front spring hanger studs back up? jt
Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...

Were the rear frame rails on the car replaced? And if they were did you replace them with stock plymouth frame rails? I believe (am sure) there is a difference between dodge and plymouth frame rails as far as rear spring mounting locations. The front hanger is also different but that would move your spring location back, not forward if you were using front hangers from a dodge. So I wouldn't think that was the problem. But if you replaced the rear frame rails this may be something for you to look at. Just my Scott
