Car looks like it's setting good to me... am I missing something?
Like I was saying, the back should drop an inch or so. I have SS springs and needed to do the same thing but did not want to elongate any of the holes in the body. I doubt its a problem to do so but I wanted to be on the safe side and got adjustable hangers. It gives the same effect as "flipping" the hangers. I got mine on Ebay but Mancini also has them for a little bit more. http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/manciniracing20.html
Also, See my post #7 on this thread for an illustration of how they work...

The amount you need to open the holes is unbelievably small.
You could just crank up the front and level it out.
Hey yeah! Then I could go mud hoppin!:angry3:
Your probably not use to seeing it sit higher.I think it should drop in time.Mine sits a little high,but I,ve got 15,s on back.Trust me, its not.
I put a set of the whitney springs on my 69 cuda and it sat to high also. I did the flipping of the front hangers and it dropped at least 1.5 inches. It sits real good now. Great looking duster. Btw my family is from the Shore.
oh yeah? What's the last name? I probably know them....Thanks! D
I bought the MP XHD's fearing they would really jack the back end up... I bought two Left springs as the right side (passenger) spring does have ~1.5" lift compared to the left spring.
H22A4.... Where did you find this info on the lift difference and why would they build in different lifts (assuming the frame mounts are symetrical)? I really like the way your car sits and am looking for a similar stance for my 68 cuda but I had never heard of the lift difference. My OLD stock springs sit 1" lower on the passenger side already (because they are worn out :-D ). Also where did you order from that let you buy 2 left springs?
I went into a local Chrysler dealership and ordered the leaf springs out of the MP book. I noticed the two different part numbers for left and right and asked the counter fellow if that meant one had more lift or if one was different from the other. The fellow didn't know so he called the wharehouse and the response back was "not sure". There are no returns on the MP parts so I gambled that there wouldn't be a difference between the two even though in the back of my mind I was thinking there had to be a difference or why would they create another part number? So I bought a left and right one and a few days later they came in. We lined them up on the counter and sure enough, the right spring had the leaves positioned differently and which would result in a higher ride on that side. Since I couldn't return the right one, I did the install to see how noticeable it would be and it was noticeable. So I went back and ordered another left spring (from the same fellow who entered my previous order), installed it on the right side and then finished rear brakes and driveshaft work.
I've got the unused right spring sitting in my garage so if you want a higher lift on both sides of your car, just buy one right spring and I'll gladly sell you the boat anchor in my garage at a great price.
Scott, the farm is about 6 or 7 miles above the bridge tunnel. Where the air planes hang out.
I believe when you buy a set of SS or XHD springs from MP the right side spring is built to set that side slightly higher. The reasoning behind that is torque. Don't know if that answers your question , but I've never seen an even set of MP SS or XHD springs.Ok, here's my stupid question...who in the hell wants their car to sit higher or lower on one side or the other?? I have got no where with MP so I am stuck with springs I can't and won't use on my car. So I guess someone here is gonna get a hell of a deal on a set of MP XHD springs......any takers????
