Comparing Spring Relocate Kits

Good info, everybody. Making me think. (Ouch!)

Nice work, Kendog. I like the welds through the holes.

Two reasons I was going to move them in:
1) Future hp requirements would require wider tire. (400ish now)
2) I have a narrowed 9" to put in it. It's only narrowed a couple inches, (I got it from a D150 Pro Streeter). As such, with the springs in the stock location, the spring perches would be near the ends of the axle tubes, and they will have to be modified because the diameter of the axle tubes will be different on one side of the perch than the other (just the way the 9" is). I figured I might as well just move them in for the future and avoid the diameter difference issue. But seeing all of these variables, I'm going to put it on the stock 6 cylinder springs and put some heavy clamps on the front segment. (Maybe a pinion snubber?) I'll go from there as needed. Making the spring perches work isn't that big a deal.

DD2: I think you're right. I can buy the hangers and perches, and make the front hanger boxes. -If and when I go that way.

Also, I didn't intend to build this into an early 80's street/strip car. It's just kinda going that way. lol I had a 70 Challenger R/T, 69 Dart 440 727 (original 340 gts 4 spd!) and a 72 Demon 340 727, back in the 80's. I guess I'm re-living my youth, and don't realize it! So maybe the Caltracs don't fit the picture. The inboard springs would, but I don't think I really need them yet.

BTW, the car is a '74 Dart Sport cloned into a 70-71 Duster. Glass hood, fenders and bumpers. I don't like the smog motored "later" cars, so I bought this because it is almost rust free. It will be street legal, but mostly strip.

Done ramblin'!
