Post by Anonymous »

I`ve now got my superstock springs,I`ve also got a pair of e body front hangers, the bolt pattern is the same, can someone run a tape measure from the mounting hole (for spring) to the part of the body where the hanger bolts on ( b body) just trying to save a few quid ,or if someone has the dimensions for the springs/hangers....thanks

are they standard? just measured the E body hangers & they measure 4 -1/4" are your springs super stock? super stock springs are `A` body length & longer front hangers are required to fit them to anything else(I thought) these E body hangers are an inch longer than standard :help: :help: :scratch: I was hoping to use the E body hangers that I got with the ss springs [-o<

Right, standard front hangers on my coronet measure 3 1/4" this is from the spring mounting hole to the face of bracket (where it mounts),I have a pair of E body(i` ve been told) which measure 4 1/4" I tried these last night and they still mount the axle about 1" further forward :evil: which means my tyres will catch :evil: :evil: can anyone who `s got a b body fitted with superstock springs please measure this size ,or do all superstock springs cause this problem :help: :help:

When i fitted my superstock springs , they fitted straight on to my front hangers , or am i reading it wrong?

Have you got the correct springs?

The straight (not offset) Super Stock front hangers you use depends on the wheelbase you have.

The E-body front hangers you have should also fit 108/110/115" WB B-body cars (1964-65, 1971-74 Hard Top)

However your car is a 117" WB (1966-70 Dodge B-Body Sedan and Wagon) is it not? In which case they are probably too short.

Gerry
Take them into any small fabrication co and i'm sure they will make a longer pair, without charging you a fortune, then sell your others on here.
