rear leafspring questions

[TROUBLE987]

I'm wanting to get a drop leaf spring for my car to keep the lower look and make it handle better,also I'm looking for the touring look with 17" or 18" wheels.what springs do you guys recommend? And I have the mopar offset shackles..Is the doctor diff offset kit have the same offset as the mopars?

Mpars Offset mount requires a shorter A body leaf spring , the Dr Diff kit uses the longer stock spring , the Dr Diff kit also has to front mounts allowing the car to be lowered approx 1 "
not sure what to recommend for a leaf spring , Espo is probably one of the best to buy from

yea i was aware of that..i guess i didnt make myself real clear what im asking is are spring perches going to have to be moved again with the doctor diff kit?or do they have the same offset on the brackets...thx for the help

Mopar claims a .75 offset, Dr Diff claims 1.0 offset.  So you have to make up .125 difference per side. That is close enough that they may fit without relocating the spring perch

thx for the info..i was starting to wounder if anybody on here knew i called the mopar tech guy and the joker never called me back..so all i have been getting is a busy tone..I trying to come up with something if i have to ill take the dang b-body rear out from under the car and put a e-body rear back under it and weld the new perches on it,i just wasnt wanting to cause i would have to swap my center section and put new bearing and everything in the e-body

ESPO springs for a e-body i cant find them..i check springs and things and dont see anything..

They don't list them, to many options...you will have to call or email.

I have Espo springs on my car. No problems at all. It definitely cured my sagging butt problem.

I gotta say, I've almost never seen anyone complain about espos.

Think I found the basis for their complaint on page #2
  "They probably copied the Eagle springs and by doing that they copied the problem of tail sagging too".
After reading the original post I was already thinking along these lines.. Here on CC.COM folks think there is something wrong with their OE springs because there is no arch...Didn't come with an arch.  As to the posters complaint that when he lets the air out of his shocks ....Ugh why does he have air shocks in the 1st place? So he drove the car a year with air jacking the rear & the springs flattened, doesn't ring right.... I don't doubt that there is some settling of a new spring in the first few weeks/months but I doubt any loose the amount the AMC guys claim. 
   I've read to many good reports on the Espo product to think they are not delivering a solid product....& they will custom build a spring to your specs, not something available everywhere.
