    I knew that moving the leaf springs inboard was gonna give me some drop but dang! Gonna have to drop the nose another inch. Seriously thinking of getting the dropped spindles now. I'm trying to figure out how my headlight and bucket disappeared while sitting in the back of the damn yard...

    rear sway bar question part deux...

    excuse the crappy cell phone pics. This is why I was asking about the sway bar mounting. If you note on my car the "box" the goes in the frame for the front spring to mount to is pretty wide and sticks away from the frame a bit. Thats the part I was worrying about hitting the vertical bar that...

    Question about a rear sway bar for my Duster...

    I want to install a rear sway bar on my 72 Duster, but I have relocated the leaf springs (but haven't done the mini yet). Will this affect the mounting of the sway bar because of the U-Bolts being further inside now? I'm trying to think ahead because the relocation affected my Summit dual...

    gotta take some perches off of a 9.25 so new ones can be relocated and welded on. We don't have a plasma cutter, what's the best way to do this without butchering the hell out of the tubes?

    leaf spring difference

    is there a difference between the springs of /6 and V-8 cars? My car is a /6 car that's being transformed to a V-8 car (as we speak) with the leaf spring relocation kit to boot. Are the spring rates different? Does it really matter on a 100% street car?

    want to install my 8.25 in the near future so I went u-bolt shopping locally and the only folks that had the correct bolts are NAPA and you'd swear they are made of Platinum with a Titanium core!!! $17.99 each! WTH?!?!? Put me on the right track y'all cause that ain't happening!

    1 inch torsion bar..

    is this too much (read: Stiff) for a street driven 318 duster? They're for sale "nused" for a good price as I can't pay 300 bucks for a pair right now or will my slant 6 ones hold up?
