Lowering the rear of a 72 duster no tub

[Cyril Thomas]

I was told if I flip my front hanger and use a mono leaf it will lower my car. Can you purchased shortened rear hangers? Looking for advice if anyone has done this, Thanks

Here's a photo of my car. I have a modified offset front hanger with a higher position than a stock hanger and leaf spring sliders on the back. This is with a Hotchkis leaf spring. These are 18x10.5" wheels, no mini tub. Note, if you are running a 15" you won't be able to run a wheel this wide. When getting this low with a tire that fills up the wheel well, the bump in the outer wheel house may need to be modfied and more than likely you will need to trim the fender lip.

I probably got what you need, lowering kit that will lower it 3/4 inch

Car looks amazing, what have you done to your front suspension?

Whether or not a mono-leaf will lower your car depends entirely on the arch that the mono-leaf spring has. Just being a mono-leaf doesn't necessarily change anything.

Because the axle sits on top of the springs, the easiest way to lower one of these cars is with a lowering block between the spring and axle. No spring change required, no new front hanger. As long as the block is under a couple inches tall there shouldn't be any substantial geometry issues created by it, any time you lower a car though you may have to adjust the pinion angle.

Thank you for your reply

HDK with some slight modifications, none of which alter the ride height.

Like blue said on the blocks. Can also get blocks that have pinion degrees cut into them or pinion shims

May I ask you where got the back seat cover from ??
