FOR SALE Eaton Detroit Leaf Springs + U-Bolts – 1970-74 Challenger & 'Cuda – Like New! 🍀🚗

[Gumby]

Selling a pair of Eaton Detroit Spring leaf springs designed for 1970-74 Dodge Challengers & Plymouth 'Cudas. These were custom-made to factory spring rate and arched to raise the rear by ~2”, correcting the reverse rake that many of these cars had from the factory.

Key Details:
Fits: 1970-74 Dodge Challenger & Plymouth 'Cuda
Factory spring rate for an authentic muscle car feel
+2” ride height to correct factory rake
Rubber bushings for a smooth, comfortable ride
Only 100 miles of use – practically new!
Includes FREE U-bolts, nuts, & washers from Michigan Truck Spring, shaped for these springs & an 8-3/4" rear end

I originally paid $900 for these springs, but I’m selling them for $450. I switched to a full custom racing suspension on my 1973 Challenger, so I no longer need them.

$450 for everything!
Located in Lakeport, CA 95453
Willing to ship at buyer’s expense

Message me if interested! Serious buyers only.

Have any pics of your car with them installed?

I don't unfortunately. I only had them on for a very short while before I decided to build the car for autocross. I can assure you, the rake was absolutely perfect after I worked with Eaton Detroit Spring on the measurements. On the last set of springs, the previous owner used air shocks to adjust the height. With these springs, it sat right where everybody wants them without any shocks.

Hey Katfish, came across this post and thought to send this pic of a Challenger I built and put Detroit +2” ride height rear leaf springs on. Motor and trans is not in the car but you get an idea of the stance. Maybe Gumby can comment. I like the stance of the T/A’s and my AAR with +2”. Hope this helps

Thanks for the help, though my front end wasn’t lifted like yours is. I don’t know how much that is affecting the height of the rear in this pic.

The engine or trans isn’t in the car so it’ll bring the front down and adjust with torsion bars of course and the rear will settle like a T/A stance as they have +2” rear leafs. Rear window and bumper and spare and jack will add weight of course for the rear when installed so it will be just like a T/A

Yep, my car sat just like a T/A with these springs.
