I have the Super stock springs 002 and 003 which I bought used and it’s been mini tubbed with the springs under the frame rails in their approx stock position. However the passenger side is 1.5”higher measuring from the bottom of the fender to the ground. In order to lower only that side can I either use a lowering block for only that side or re-position the front of the
spring to which hole? Don’t have the perches welded to the tubes yet so I figured now would be be that time.Dont really want to raise the left side as I kinda like the stance like that. Also haven’t set the pinion angle yet either. What say you all.

You know that is the way Mopar designed them right, pre loaded on the right for drag racing. I would use the upper hole first and once you adjust the front T-bars it will be almost level. That is how I how do it.
 
Seems to make sense; so you don’t think that I need to re-arch that side. Haven’t had it on the road yet so perhaps I’m jumping the gun. I’ll try your suggestion 1st though.
 
If you re-arch you lose the 002 and 003 design, launch the car and plant the tire. I think a few tweeks and you will be happy with the stance. Ride might not be great, it's a drag spring. I like the look under your car, nice work!
 
Yep, what Hyper_pak said. After awhile you won't even notice or give it much thought. Beautiful work by the way..
 
I run a pair of 3200 lbs passenger SS springs on my 68 A-Body and my 70 E-Body. Both cars weigh in at 3700 lbs with no driver. I've fitted slapper bars to both cars to control the spring wrap that happens on launches. Both cars hook up incredibly hard on the street using Nitto Drag Radials.

This combination is the best I've ever experienced, and I have tried at least a dozen different combinations over the last 40 years. The springs are relatively cheap and can be ordered individually from Summit.

I had the same problem with my 71 Scamp drag car. the 002/003 worked really well,so well while I was under the car, checking things over . I noticed the rear end was wrapping so hard, the housing had dented both shocks. I control my axle wrap with a pinion snubber.
