Need picks of Duster or Demon with 1” drop rear leaf springs
Keep your original front hangers. The majority of the drop with the Hotchkis springs is from the “geometry correcting” front hangers. So if you install the Hotchkis springs and think it’s too low, you can replace the Hotchkis hangers with the factory ones and get some ride height back.
Just going from SS springs to the factory arch springs is a pretty significant drop.
The rear tire height also has a lot to do with how “tucked in” the wheels look. If you have 25” tall tires in the back it’ll have to be sitting on the ground to tuck the wheels into the quarters.
This is my car with a factory arch spring, 27.2” tall rear tires and about a 3/8” lowering from my rear spring slider conversion
