I'm interested in opinions on the 3400lb vs 3800lb ss springs. My old DC manual says 3400lb springs are the ones for my '64 Belvedere 2d HT, but I think I've read that some guys go with the 3800lb springs. I'm planning to do this swap in the spring (no pun intended), but I'm not sure which ones I should go with.

For the setup. We jsut ordered the 3400# Set from Summit
racing...they
also had the 2" extended Brackets needed, and with a little
work, we
got them in there just fine....Everything bolted up
beautifully....no
issues....these springs are for 62-65....and they fit
perfectly. eith
the 2" extensions.

As for the lower hole...that's where they are right
now...and She is
sitting mighty tall right now.....I will end up installing
these to
the upper holes in the brackets just to see what
differences there
are...I'll let you know as soon as I find out.....

I'll end up making the changes tomorrow night and seeing
how that goes....
