Then handling won't be much better with the 2" over, should have gotten the regular one's. One of my cars are 1" over and I don't like them. My other car with reg springs handles better and rides better.

I do believe that they will ride better than your old SS springs because they have a longer front segment than do the SS and that should help the ride. Having the azz end up in the air destroys the handling is all.
My gold 71 is sitting on EPSO 1" over springs and my black 74 is on stock height springs.

Agreed. I think the stock style XHD spring are around 130-140# rate. I seem to recall SS springs are 160ish, so the ride will soften up some. But the 2" over ride height creates greater side laoding of the spring pack, so they are not as stable for cornering as a flatter spring. However, at 2," they may be flatter than SS springs, so you'll just have to wait and see. Last set of SS springs I isntalled were more like a +3 and there is some on on here who installed an SS set that resulted in a radical +6, but that isn't the norm.

On just about ANY rwd Mopar I believe a 275-60-15 mounted on a 7 or 8 rim having proper bs (4" for 7, 4.5" for 8) should fit a-ok w/o ANY rear fender or fender lip clearance problems... the key factor is the back-space.

Put on a smaller tire and stock or less springs. My car has -1's on it.

2"ers will settle down after a couple months. It'll be okay, had them on a Challenger and a Duster and with rear sway bars did great.

If they are too high you could try flipping the front hanger and you'll loose about 3/4".
