I drive with 7 leafs per side in my '73 Dart.
Waiting for the "rear end is to high, how can I lower it ?" thread.
Unless you want the raked look, stock replacement is all you need.
You did good!I ordered stock height, 6-leaf from ESPO. Definitely don't want the "rake", but couldn't decide on 5 or 6 leaf, thinking 6 leaf might give a harsher ride. Several members said they didn't so I went with them. Thanks guys!
I plan to rebuild the front suspension and replace torsion bars before spring. It's right around the corner, lol.

Good to hear. I have heard nothing but good from them.By the way, Laura at ESPO was great to deal with. Lots of communication via email even after hours and the weekend. Customer service at it's finest!
Hi
I’m new around here and I have a question
I’m wanting to drop the butt on my 71 demon significantly and I’m looking at this post thinking I need a stock type 6 leaf espo
Spring pack
And a front torsion bar around a 1.06-1.08 In diameter.
Do any of you run this type of setup and if so what are your measurements from the ground to the center of the rear wheel well

Update: I ordered 6-leaf standard height leaf springs from ESPO. Took them 8 business days to ship and they arrived 2 days after shipping. $320 shipped to Georgia.
Got them installed yesterday. It raised the back 1.75". Not high, but back where they should be. Weather is thinking about rain so I only took a short drive. They feel much firmer but by no means harsh. Less roll around corners. I'm very happy with them so far.
Lol. Just noticed the cardboard on the floor in my before and after pictures we were discussing in the creeper thread.
Going to order the PST front suspension kit and torsion bars today. Sure hope that project goes as well as the leaf springs did. I may look at buying a cheap press at Horror Freight so I can do it all myself.

Mancini racing has 1" drop front brackets or you can use a block to lower it by raising the axle.Hi

I had ordered 6 leaf 1/2" over springs (post 15) for the Barracuda. Before I got them installed, I acquired the Dart. I decided to put the new springs on the Dart.
Laura at ESPO did the math and the springs should be 1 1/4" over on the Dart. I hope to have them installed this week. Should be interesting...
