Need picks of Duster or Demon with 1” drop rear leaf springs

[J.B.]

I have a 71 Demon that has been upgraded with bbm axles and 18” wheels. I am looking for that tucked or slightly tucked look. I bought it with 3” raised mopar superstock springs and dont like the stance. The photo enclosed is the look im looking for. I am guessing it is a 1” drop since stock is just above tire

How many inches are you from where you want to be?

Here is my old Duster with 18's and a 2'' drop 100 lbs increase made by Eton Detroit Springs if it helps.

My buddy was running SS springs on his Demon and lowered it 2" using blocks. I can't seem to find a picture at the moment.

Keep your original front hangers. The majority of the drop with the Hotchkis springs is from the “geometry correcting” front hangers. So if you install the Hotchkis springs and think it’s too low, you can replace the Hotchkis hangers with the factory ones and get some ride height back.

Just going from SS springs to the factory arch springs is a pretty significant drop.

The rear tire height also has a lot to do with how “tucked in” the wheels look. If you have 25” tall tires in the back it’ll have to be sitting on the ground to tuck the wheels into the quarters.

This is my car with a factory arch spring, 27.2” tall rear tires and about a 3/8” lowering from my rear spring slider conversion

1” calvert drop springs in the back, get your backspacing/wheelspacers right and you may not need to roll the fenders (275/60r15)
