which part number are those and is there anything left install in the trunk area???
i put the 456/457 SS springs on my 67 coronet and it only raised it 1.5" over the low performance springs that were on it...
also, you could probably just put the mopar XHD reproduction springs on the car and it will sit nicely.

Looking at that pic, I gotta ask.
Is the top of the rear spring hanger point towards the front, or the rear of the vehicle? Cause I'm thinking rear. Not sure what exactly your asking.. The rear shackles are on correctly... I believe... The front hangers have two spots to place the springs. I'm on the top one letting the car sit as low as possible.

Something doesnt look right. I have these on the top spring and it sits much lower. On the bottom hole the wheels tuck in the wells.Can you get a picture of the front and rear perches?

This what we have currently and as you car see this is not going to work.
Up front is a magnum force transformer suspension... Very aware of their issues floating around but we are stuck with it at this point. Out back are SS springs that were bought prior to the choice of the front end. The coils are tightened up pretty tight up front and we are debating going with a 235-70s to get more tire width and about an 1 1/2 of lift in the front end. . The owner wants to stay with factory 15" tires so the new stuff is not an option.
The springs are on the upper hole in the hangers already but I need this thing leveled out.. Any thoughts or just get a new set of springs..
Lowering blocks. Old school, but works, creates no additional issues.
K.I.S.S.
