hmmm....

im looking at doing some more upgrades to mine. im just not happy with the way it drives.

first stop is 17X8 wheels, 275/40/17 rear and 255/40/17 front.

IIRC, you have dropped spindles? Is that why you are staying 255/40/17 in the front?

ive used hotchkis stuff on my projects before, and liked them. always wondered if you could do the same cheaper, though.

the spring rate for the hotchkis leafs is the same as the mopar circle track springs. i understand that the design is slightly different bethween the two, but is the improvement in the design or in the spring rate?

Both. I think the Hotchkis leafs have a drop front eyelet and two big leafs under the main leaf for anti wrap up. AND one big left on TOP of the mail leaf to keep the rear end from hopping under hard braking into a corner.

ALSO, the Hotchkis Leaf Springs are a lot lighter. That's unsprung weight. :-D
