Re: SS Spring thing




Maybe the later SS springs were 2" shorter and used the extensions. That would leave less spring to flex in front of the axle( spring wind up) We will get this figgered out- I am about ready to get my SS springs......................................MO

The guy at Mancini said the 3400# SS front section is 20" same as the
stock spring.  I'm going to measure this weekend just to make sure.

Paul, check Summits price on those spring hanger extensions. I think
they
are less money and they ( I think) have two sets of  mounting holes
which I
would guess to set ride hieght you want. If you want to try them and
don't
like them, I would buy them from you. I will be in Glenwood Saturday
afternoon , maybe we could research it. There is a guy in Glenwood with
a
stock 64 Polara and maybe we could compare his front hangers with your
63....................MO
