Leaf spring old school

[High Plains Mopars]

I'm machining new front cups to allow about .8" move outboard per side; with the 1 1/2" per side move inboard at back, this will keep springs more parallel and flat with centerline of car.

I'm unfamiliar with 1st gen spring geometry, but if you are taking splay out of the leafs and making them more parallel, you may be inducing more roll steer with the rear and you will have added more oversteer to the vehicle once complete. This certainly can be balanced with other components, but just an FYI about the move.



Nothing wrong with leaf springs on a multi-duty application.
