When we first built the 1971 Challenger we used some recommended leaf springs from JC Whitney. They were perfect. I like to have the body line above the rear wheels horizontal not pointing down. Now my son put bigger 15" wheels and tires on the back. Where can I get leaf springs to lower back down a couple of inches so it's not so high in the air? Cost is a factor here.

Thanks, Steve

I'd look to ESPO Springs n Things. Good people to work with at a reasonable cost for the quality you get. If budget is a factor, maybe lowering blocks are an option.

A 15" rim is only 1/2" taller than a 14" rim. What tire size did he change from and go to ? Remember that since the axle is in the center of the wheel total height is divided by 2, or 1/2. A 2" drop would actually mean a 4" diameter difference.
