Rear Leaf Spring Eye Brackets With Pics
« on: March 09, 2017 - 09:38:00 AM »
Hi Guys,

I'm putting back together the Challenger after paint and I have a question about the leaf spring brackets.  I noticed the ones that I have are different than what the Dodge Chassis Service Manual says or Year One.  Theirs only has one hole for the leaf spring the ones that came on my car are different.  Mine has 2 holes for the leaf spring I'm guessing for height adjustment?  Is one better than the other? What are your thoughts?  Thanks

Dave

You have Super Stock hangers and springs under your car. These leafs are two inches shorter in the front segment. They use a longer hanger with the two mounting holes you see. They are not original to the car, but are factory issued aftermarket.

Do they have the two mounting points for adjustability?

Yes you can adjust ride height, and also changes pinion angle slightly. It appears you have 1 mounted in the upper hole, and 1 in the lower hole? does your car sit level?
