Anyway, I have the 5 leaf on both sides. Need rebuilding and I don’t have time, too many other things to rebuild. I will replace them.
Out of stock at General Springs.
How would the Mopar performance 6 leaf work to use for both sides, normally used in the 440, 426 left side? I don’t see the need for the 7 leaf on the right but not much different in price either. Mancini has these.
How would these compare to the standard spring regarding handling, ride etc? Any advice appreciated.
 
ESPO 6 leaf heavy duty stock height. You won’t be disappointed.
 
Espos site said 3 month lead time when I checked two weeks ago. I bought the MP ones from Summit since i didnt want to pay alot for Eatons again. Ive used the MP ones twice now and happy so far.

MP ones here and happy with but need the extended front spring hanger. The Super Stock ones a direct bolt on I’m told that’s the difference between the the 2 MP springs
 
Have a look at the springs, and buy a matching pair that has the second leaf that extends closest to the spring eyes. This is where they sag: between the spring eyes, and the second leaf. From experience.
 
Try John R. Spring, this is where ESPO and others buy their leaf springs. Skip the middleman.

I put the MP SS springs on my 70 Bee last year w/ the extended hangers and reinforcement plates from Mancini, love them. Have them on the lowest hole, sits nice, pretty stiff and a great price.
