I,m going to be ordering new rear leaf springs from ESPO Spring and Things shortly. I'm having a hard time on deciding on to order stock replacement spirngs or ones with a 1 lift. My springs on my 73 duster 340 are the original ones, the front rubber bushings are bad. And the leafs themselves are looking pretty flat. So it is hard to imagine what the height would be good. I'm afraid with a 1" lift the rear will sit to high. I don't want the rear really sitting high like I have air shocks maxed out.But wonder if the stock springs will make the car sit no higher than it does now. Any thoughts, pictures or advantages of one over the another? I might ad that I'm running 15" 60 series tires on the rear and 14" 70 series tires on the front.When I bought the tires I made sure the tire diameters where almost the same. They only vary by.5 inch.
thanks,

Go with the 1" over ESPO springs and you'll be happy. I used them on both my Dusters and they give the perfect stance. They will settle some after awhile too. Sorry no pics till I get home-out of town.

Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
