How i moved my rear back

[67DARTGTCONV]

Hello,
Figured I share with you how I moved my rear back.

I installed new 255/15/60 tires in the rear of my 67 Dart with new 15 x 7 cragers.
I did not like how close the tires were to the front of the rear fender.
I researched threads of how guys moved thier rears back. Most used the front hole
of the spring perch but I did not want to assemble it that way concerned about spring placement.
As you can see in the pics (not great ones) I made 4- 1/2 inch spacers. these are the old hangers
First I installed a Dr DIFF 3/4 relocation kit. Then I installed only 1 of the 1/2 inch spacers on each side. It was moved back enought to make the wheel spacing more right looking.

Did the new hangers from dr.Diff have longer bolt studs ?
Those original studs dont look long enough

I was going to do something like that to center my tire in the opening but never got around to doing it.

Hello Again,

I am in Florida for the next 2 weeks so pics will have to wait until I get back. I will post them.

I installed longer studs for the Dr Diff Hangers but probally did not need to.

I am happy how it turned out. I actually flipped the hangers upside down and swapped them side to side to get the ride height I wanted with the SS springs.
