I am working on my 1971 Demon with a 318/904. I just put in an 8 3/4 from the 8 1/4. Currently the leafs are a bit saggy and I am thinking of putting in a 440 down the road (possibly). I was looking at upgrading the rear leafs/suspension with these leafs and offsets - does anyone have any insight on these items, have you ever installed or used them? Any information would be great.

Thanks:

 

First the offset shackle will need the offset front hanger and spring pad relocate.

Second the 02+03 springs were designed for high horsepower hard launches, most who use them on the street complain of very harsh ride. They are known as '68 Hemi Super Stock springs.

 

Thanks - I was curious on the ride issue, so I will probably look at the stock ones from DCC. And on the relocation kit, not sure if 2.5 inches would be beneficial at this time.

- anyone else?

 

i had a 71 badd a** demon,i used (new) stock repacements and had approx. 3 inches off the rear houseing & axles,with the right backspacing on rims i had a big tire under the car without moving the springs i believe,that was 13 yrs ago.


NOW I HAVE A T/A WITH WEAK SRINGS,MY MUFFLERS HAVE HIT THE BUMPS A FEW TIMES.I WANT TO ADD ENOUGH SO THEY DONT HIT BUT ID REALLY LIKE TO KEEP THE LOWER REAR STANCE I HAVE NOW....WITHOUT THE MUFFLERS SCRAPING!!

Anyone with suggestions PLEASE SEND THEM asap.....
