I ordered some Leaf Springs from Summit last year, and I would like to install them this year. My car has highway gears, 2.76 I believe (I don't have access to the fender tag right now). I would like to have a sure grip axle. I have a 1971 Plymouth Satellite. I am beefing up the engine & transmission and don't want any drive-line failures. I'm wanting a little more oomph but I still want to be able to drive on the highway occasionally. I know a Dana 60 is highly sought after, but I'm not sure I'd find what I need as my area is a restoration hotbed and local parts for vintage cars are more difficult to dig up.
Seeing as I am new to doing this kind of modification, what things should I look for?
Thank you so much for your time, I appreciate your assistance.

- Wrecked pick ups? are there specific years/ etc that will bolt on?
- What about the brakes? I have 11 inch drums and 14 inch road wheels?
- What about the original rear end, can I make it a limited slip differential with a kit?
- How do I determine the length from side to side? where should I be measuring.
