Yes: My orange car has factory HP springs and it sits like your car, I'm happy with it. On my green car though I have tried two pair of factory HP springs and they both must have been re-arched. I put the lower set in but it's still too high. When I finally get the car done and it still sits high I'm going to load some weight in the back of it and hopefully they'll sag a bit. I still have to add the rear seat, rear window and spare tire too it but I don't think that will bring it down the 4 inches it sits too high.

I have factory XHD springs and the car sat too high for my liking at first. Kind of high like the way TelisSE440 is looking for-but not 4"! It took a couple years for them to settle in the way I like it. They are virtually flat at the moment and it wouldn't bother me to be a bit lower. I like corners as much as straights.  :smokin:

Thanks!
If I remember right those got 5 leafs, or you can say 4 full and one short, like an original TA/AAR spring.
Before resto it had XHD and airshocks, plus scarred and dented mufflers :)
They settled a bit after that pic, here is one some 6 months after:

A 275/60 should fit with no issues no matter what spring you have 74Challenger03. The rim/backspace will be the important dimension to worry about.  :2cents:

Well a 275 requires an 8" rim I believe. Aren't 3.5" BS rims a 7" wide rim?

I was wondering, should there be 5 or 6 leafs. Is there a huge difference?
