New ESPO Springs - Measurements
« on: January 18, 2016 - 11:14:09 PM »
I swapped out my old (maybe original) stock 4 leaf springs for new 440 springs +1" from ESPO (http://www.springsnthings.com) on my '68 Charger. The car was originally a 318 car, and the PO put in a 440 but did not change springs.  I also had old shocks, and installed new Monroe sensa-trac shocks too.  I am waiting on new bigger torsion bars, front and rear sway bars and front shocks to make final adjustments on the front and then off to alignment.

I know its a Charger but hope the measurement differences help (275/60/15 rear, 235/70/15 front):
                       Before     After        Difference
Front Bumper   19 7/8     19 1/2        -    3/8
RF                   25 1/2     26              +1 1/2"
LF                   25 1/2      26 3/8        +  7/8'
RR                  26 1/4      29 3/16      +2 15/16"  
LR                  26 1/4      29              +2 3/4"        
Rear Bumper   25 3/4      29 1/8        +3 3/8"
