Not. Too much to mess with.

Stock height springs, you will be happy, your Dart will sit like it did when it was new. And the handling will be as it was designed to be too.

I'm a big fan of ESPO. Great product/prices/support. You can call them and the lady there really knows her stuff and will answer all your questions and make sure you get everything you need.

Espo +1. It was more rake than I wanted, and changed the car's handling considerably. Espo was a great company to deal with.

If I remember correctly, the diagram is wrong. Someone else will chime in.

Yes, Mopar power steering is known as being 'over-assisted' i.e. you can steer with your pinkie finger, but it shouldn't be 'twitchy' like you're describing. Like 6pak says it might be the steering box adjustment is too tight, which is simple to check. Or the alignment needs more caster. Both of...

If you can update us on what the reason turns out to be.

Could it be the steering box is adjusted too tight? There's a locknut you loosen then you use a big screwdriver and back it off a tiny bit. It may take a few test drives and trial and error with the adjustment till it's good. At least this is what I did on a '64 Fury after someone had tightened...

I'm sure someone will reply. Meanwhile you might go to the "search" function, type in keyword "disc" and the options "show titles" and "show threads." Then you will see all the past threads. Disc swaps are a common topic. I'm not a tech but basically the choices are: Swap in a disc setup...

ESPO. Many happy customers here at FABO, they really are a "mom and pop" small business. I got +1" regular-duty leafs and Laura made sure I got the right hardware, one phone call and I was set and their prices are great.

I'm no tech but if you have the box described above where you loosen the nut and then tighten using a big screwdriver...no more than 1/4 turn at a time and drive it after each adjustment (including taking it out on the highway) till you get it the way you want it.

I believe you will get used to it and pretty soon you won't even think about it. With practice you will get the hang of not trying to turn the wheel when you're at a dead stop, instead, have the car moving just a little. Another idea, order a leather steering wheel cover online from Wheelskins...

My $.02 from experience the difference in height is a shock at first but then you get used to it and you will get positive comments about it.

Another vote for Espo +1". Great product, fair price, fast shipping, you can order by phone and the lady really knows her stuff (wish I knew her name.)

Thanks for the follow-up. I bought some 1" bars, not installed yet, good to hear feedback.

No complaints on my set. Before long however they outperformed the other components of the front end....if you have not done a rebuild, you may need one soon....

x2 I vaguely remember someone posting that the pictures in the instructions were wrong....sorry I can't be more helpful.

The Cragars are considerably heavier from what I hear, I'm not knowledgable about wheels/handling but it makes sense that the extra weight would make a difference.

I went through the same debate and for me it didn't make sense to spend money on air shocks when in the long run they don't fix the problem.

Thanks for the link. It's nice to see a vendor who carries parts we need!

I bet it's a pleasure to drive. What material are your new bushings?

Once you get the height you want, re-aim your headlights.

Guys, in the meantime is there a psi that he can run safely?

x3 KYB. If your front end parts are old, be prepared to replace them too, new shocks will outperform the weak parts of the system.

Could be the steering gearbox adjustment is too tight?

I bought some air shocks a while back but returned them after thinking in the long run it is better to spend that money taking care of the sagging springs.

x2 for ESPO, one quick phone call got me springs, bushings, bolts, all correct parts, shipped fast, fair price.

I am not a tech at all but I can tell you when I adjusted my steering box too tight it did make it very hard to keep the car in a straight line at 35+ mph. It was scary.

Just a bit of advice from experience, to get the right bushings from NAPA, ask for bushings for a '65 Valiant....the ones they gave me for '65 Barracuda were wrong.

For everything it was a little over $300.
