ESPO leaf springs

[missmopar70]

I'm looking to see if anyone here has used ESPOs +1 leaf springs and has some pics? I'm having a hard time visualizing how my 70 Challenger will look with them. Anything helps! Also, anyone had any issues with them?

I haven’t personally used them yet but I have several friends that highly recommend them.

I have ESPO +2 good ride handles the pot holes with ease but that is probably down to the shockies.
From 1/4 tank no spare to full tank with spare Tyre drops the rear about 1 inch
Have not seen a height change in 12 months running 275/50/r15 rear front is set to about 24" Hooker 5115 clear by around 4 1/2" quite important as we have some nasty speed humps here or traffic calming devices as the council calls them
The only issue was i had to repaint they were delivered with that patchy full gloss look.

I put espo springs in my duster and worked great but 400 shipped. On my 73 cuda I went with springs I got for around 275 shipped with 2.5 lift from eBay. Not as high as you would think and they ride very nice

I would have expected something more dramatic too! I like that ride height though, it looks aggressive. I just have my doubts when buying eBay parts

I think they were from mcveigh truck spring. Usa made. Also only 2 inch lift but made my car sit how I wanted.

I used the 440/Hemi 6 leaf set as i have the caltracs & some extra body stiffing in the rear (My own design)
The 5-leaf springs with a 2" lift are $250/pair and 6-leaf that were used on 440/Hemi cars would be $260/pair with a 2" lift. They are matched pairs and come with the front bushings pressed in. Rear shackles with bushings are $60/pair; ubolts $16/set of 4 and front eye bolts $6/pair

I have Espo +1 on my 71 Challenger and like them a lot. My opinion is stock Challengers sit low in the back. Espo +1, just bring it up to how it should be; doesn’t look high at all. If you want a higher look than level go with +2.
