Suspension & Steering Shopping List

Racist sliders, LOL!!! Definitely a typo there!

Thank you for your input. I based most of this list off your posts so it should look familiar.

it’s all completely preliminary at this point. I just came to the conclusion that my entire suspension really needs a rebuild and rather than blow $500 to rebuild it I’m just going to start amassing the parts for what I really want.

I will definitely look into the Calvert sliders as well.

in regards to the leaf springs, I didn’t have much to go on other than the suggested vehicle weight on the Summit page which I believe was 3200lbs max which should be right around where the barracuda is, I do believe. I looked at the funky Hotchkis springs and just couldn’t find any input on the internetz one way or the other. I’m pretty sure they would save me some money though.
I’m running the Hotchkiss leaf springs on my ‘73 Swinger. I don’t have anything bad to say about them at this point (less than 5,000) miles. They’re being used in conjunction with 1.03” bars up front, Bilstein shocks, and front and rear Hellwig sway bars. The car rides well and drives like a sports car. 9C3EFD6C-2015-46CA-A25D-A1AD25F85D04.jpeg
