Show us a picture of the suspension dropped out with the spring installed and all the bolts snug, like this. Lets see the clearance between the spindle and the spring.

Will do. Gonna b a few days though. Supposed to be minus 20 here with wind tomorrow and my shop ain't heated
So I was surfing the Web today, apparently GTS will have a display at the Monster Mopar swap meet the first weekend in March in Indy, so here's a chance to check it out in person.

Yeah they're unveiling their front suspension setup to the public at the Chrysler show!

Great thread, thanks for starting it. I'm looking into suspension for my 68 Dart now.

Thank you, I have since talked to Carl. I believe this is the kit for me.
Sweet, trust me, you won't regret it

So I was talking this morning with Carl Gerst, owner of GTS about my wheel/tire options. He informed me that the widest he's had anyone go as far as front tire width/size is a 285/30 on the front with room to go as much as .5 inches more. Course this depends on the rim offset but I recall this question rising up somewhere

I plan for 285/30s up front once I finish my GTS swap.
yeah, some people were claiming you couldn't fit more than a 245, but they are wrong.

On the Grest Facebook page someone is building a nice green 73 Duster with someone big 20" wheels ... Looks good!
looks good......... mine is almost completely installed .. minus column and flex hoses ... i am trying to make 14 inch wheels work for the front ???? i installed a set of ralley wheels and noticed they slightly tough caliper on top corner ... i really do not want to go to 15 inch wheels unless i have to .
what brakes are you running?

I already have an aftermarket front suspension, and was wondering how much actual travel u other guys have in yours .
GTS stock ride height spindles:
Suspension travel measured out to be an impressive 6.5 inches at the spindel at 58.5 inches hub to hub face and 6.25 at 58.0 hub to hub. With .25 inches to spare before bottoming the shock.

dukeboy440...I have the same kit on my Challenger bought in 2019 from Carl before QA1 bought him out, with the spacers supplyed in my kit which were the shorter ones without the extra spacers that QA1 now supplies with the kit and I am thinking the bump steer is not quite what I wanted. My spindels dont have the spacer welded on like what Carl added to yours. I am wondering if you are happy with your bump steer sweep and the way the car drives with the spacer you have that puts the tie rod more in line with the lower control arm. Any info on your thoughts would be appreciated as I am thinking the original setup is not what it should be to eliminate any bump steer. Walt
