8 1/2" ARE Torque Thrusts, but the back spacing means the tyres run tight on the wheel arch lips, and like you, I don't want to cut them.

I see I was wasting my breath again.

To repeat. If you want to use stock length springs you need to use the A-body front hanger and cut /re-weld it slightly. Also weld up the existing eye bolt hole and drill three new ones (for correct position and height adjustability).

Thanks Dave, I thought that you were just being cheap using the"A" body one

Having not researched this, I assumed that Mopar might have put a bit of thought into it and produced an off the shelf hanger for use with stock springs. I now know that is clearly wrong.

New perches seems the best approach if I can be arsed to do it....

Thanks for all your input.

Thanks Baccy

Have you measured those other shafts yet

If they move the front spring mount a whole inch inwards then the nut for the bolt would have to be inside the chassis leg wouldn't it?

Strike that. I just checked and there is room for the nut.
