002-003 are A-Body superstock springs. you can use them on a E-B Body , but you have to get the correct front spring hangers...
Cal-Trac mono leafs would work better and are much lighter than the S/S springs if your going to race it alot....

yes they are 20" so you need a longer front spring hanger to locate the springs & diff correctly

The length is also 2 inches different. The Challenger is longer by 2. Notice the rear valance spring shackle hanger covers molded into the valance.

In general, Dodges had a longer wheel base than the Plymouth version (a,b and e bodies). Dodge was the upscale model, so it had the longer wheel base and better ride.
