Mopar A-Body 1/2" Spring Relocation Kit Offset Hangers & Shackles
LOL.
You can buy the MP front only for 155 or a complete kit for 150... yep makes total sense. DOH!!!!!
I couldn't imagine maybe buying the complete kit and selling the extra shackles to someone else. Maybe call Dr Diff and ask if he'll sell you only the front hangers. Time to put a little effort in on your part.
I'm out before I get a RUDE comment.
Mainly I didn't buy the Dr Diff ones because their site says only for 67+...I've got a '66. The MP ones are supposed to work on early A's.
Anyone else wanna be helpful? LOL
If the MP kit works on '66's so will Dr. Diffs. The hangars on both kits are offset exactly the same amount, a 1/2". Dr diffs actually have more clearance to the frame because of the bolt design he uses, you don't have to cut a hole in the frame rail like you do for the MP hangars.
The MP kit is only a "3/4" offset because of the shackles. I have both kits. It side loads the hangar for the extra 1/4", and it's pointless because even with the 1/2" kit the tires rub the inside of the wheel tub before the springs.
You may be able to just drill another hole (inward), flip the rear hanger and move it inward 1/2", and use the stock shackles. That's what I did under my 68 at Dr. Diff's advice. Worked like a charm. I hadn't been under my 66 in a while, but it may work with your early A as well. If you don't mind getting dirty, you could save a few bucks. Stick your head under there, check it out, and get back to us.
You are correct, for some reason I thought you were looking for just the offset shackles. Sorry bout that.
You are correct though. Drill a few holes, move the brackets over and voila-free offset kit.
I just use a 1/8" pilot bit then use a cheap step bit form harbor freight. They work great on anything 1/8" and smaller.
