Hotchkis leaf spring pics?

[dmopar74]

Anybody have pics of their cars with the hotchkis leaf springs? My 73 225 duster has the stock leafs and they are dead flat so I just want to compare ride heights.

Yes they sit low. Did you install the drop front spring hangers. I put my stock ones back in cause it was too low.

I just purchased them. By the way summit sells the hotchkis springs without the hangers for $350

Hotchkis Sport Suspension 24385WH

Here they are with the hangers on my ‘73 Swinger. Different body but hope it helps.

This is the Hotchkis spring, with sliders, and the front hanger raised 1" from stock. 26" tall tire.

That is a great looking car.

That is a great looking car.

Thank you. It photographs well but it’s rough up close. Helluva a lot of fun to drive though.

So the hotchkis springs have 1/2" front bolt holes in the bushings and my hangers are 5/8 so I gotta get new hangers or find some tiny bushings for the bolt

I found new front bushings that fit the 5/8 bolt, the part number is RB91.
