If you have pictures and info on how your set up the rear end on your car.

What gear ratio
Leaf spring rate
Tire size width
Axle width: B or E body length
Brakes: Disc or Drum.

Also, what you would most like to add, modify, or change on your set up.

I used the stock E body width , , 10 " drum brakes ,15x8 ralley wheel stock offset & 295/50/15 tires with the stock HD springs
 too close for comfort , even though the diff is centered something is off as I have 1/2 of clearance on the left side the fender lip & zero on the right side , I should have moved the springs inboard by 1" on each side & made the diff about 1.5 " narrower , the tires would have fit easily that way

I had 354 gears in my dana and installed 410's in it now.  I have 6 and 7 leaf springs on it now also with 6 on the driver side and 7 on the passenger side.  Stock e body width and stock offset on the center section, which means axle lengths are not equal but the stock sizes.  I run 275x60x15 ta radials on my car now with 15x8 rims. I just bought a doc differential offset shackle kit that moves the springs in one inch. And should be able to use 15x10 rims with a 5 inch back space and I am planning on running a 315x60x15 M/T et street tire so my car will hook up better. I just spin away now.

Here's my set-up, 3.73 gears, nice compromise for around town/highway

Rims are American Racing Torq-Thrust
ARE-105MS7865B
ARE-105MS8965B

Dr Diff 1" relocation kit gives me about 1" clearance from tire to leaf spring on each side.
Original E-body rear, now has 11" drums.

17x8 (4.5" BS) up frt - 17/225/50 (25.9") $95 each
18x9 (6" BS) in rear - 18/275/40 (26.7") $115 each

I looked at the 285's for the rear but it was almost $100 more per tire. I looked for common sizes to keep the cost down.
