I Have 275lb 10in springs on 3850 Affcos mounted almost straight up and down on a Bobs Pro Fab front end, Bondo Bob recomends 250lb springs on A-body cars, i somehow got shipped 275lb springs BUT i had to move my lower coilover mount on my lower control arm inward some so the extra 25lb compenstaes for the inward movement of the mounting point. this is on a all aluminum motor, stock location. if i ever install the aluminum headed 440 then a 350or 400lb spring would be my choice. btw call Bob @ Bobs Pro Fab he full of knowledge on this stuff.

Torsion bar rates are at the wheel not with a 250 lb weight sitting on top of a coil spring etc. to measure lb/in. An example is it takes like a 600 lb coil to get a 350 lb "Wheel rate". Don't freak but Firm Feel has Wheel rates on their website for torsion bars.


Mopar to the bone!!!
