Moving your leaf springs inboard question?
« on: July 01, 2008, 01:54:25 AM »

Is the Mopar Performance Spring Relocation Kit (Part # DCC-4876558AB) the kit of choice for a 66 Valiant or are there other choices? If so, what is the ideal kit?

Thanks for the info.

Quick question on spring relocation, those of you that have done it .. how does it affect cornering?  greater body roll etc?

I never had a problem on the street. I ran 12.50" wide tires on the rear. That is probably why I never had any problems

I have used both The Carfarm and Mopar relocation kit. The Carfarm kit is better/stronger. I'll be using the Carfarm kit on my 65 Valiant project and I'm about to weld in a Carfarm kit in my neighbors wagon.

Hey Rcomet.  When you do it, can you take some pictures and post them? Even tho it might be for a different car then we are trying to complete, I'm sure that photos will come in handy. Thanks!

Did you move the rear back 1.5 "?

How hard would this be to do with a relocation kit? Could you not move the front hanger back and massage the area to smoothin and fit? what about rear of spring?

Going to do something this winter.
