Looking for measurements

[Leanburn]

I’m about to upgrade my 8 3/4 to a Dana in my Cuda. I’m going to go with a b body Dana and move the rear springs in a bit. The previous owner made the front spring mounts and welded them solid so before I go cutting I wouid like to check if their in the stock position or not and where to install the new ones. So if there’s anyone able/willing to do get some measurements I wouid be super grateful.
In the pic I’m measureing from center of spring to centre of frame rail and I get 4 1/2”.

If it is any help, the rear shackles drop straight down centered under the frame rail.

Yep. Just get the S/S spring relocation kit. Has everything you need to move the springs inboard where they were designed to go and comes with new spring perches.

Also here are some housing measurements when going to a different rear axle.:

I’m just checking to see if my front brackets are in factory position. They have been boxed and welded so I need to cut them off if their in factory position.

I measured several different ways with my stock 71 Barracuda. I think the clearest measurement is 4707, measured from the inside of the frame rail. Rod

Exactly what I needed. Thanks a ton.

Thanks, I took a bunch of pics so you could decide which one worked best. BTW, here is a picture of my Barracuda. Rod
