    Leaf Springs or Air Shocks for sagging 197070 Chrysler 300

    ...Snow came with the A35 towing package and I got the correct replacement springs (7-leaf). Regina has the regular suspension, and in that case I went for 6-leaf (not 5) for a slightly firmer ride. FWIW, I had planned on Eaton but ended up going with ESPO. For photos, start here to get some.

    70 Fury rearch leaf springs or new?

    ^ this. I´ve used ESPO twice and have been very happy. One caveat to my agreement with you: the ESPO shackles do NOT work on 1970-1973 fusies. Money wasted to order them. @moparblood — There are several threads on the topic, including a very detailed one by @1970FuryConv with lots of pics...

    70 Fury rearch leaf springs or new?

    Fourteen months later, I paid a bit less ($528, including S&H to the Midwest) for a set of 7-leaf factory-specs rear springs for Snow White, my 1970 N-code Polara 'vert. Those springs are correct as that Dodge came equipped with the A35 towing package. Here is a breakdown:

    ...2. Two weekends ago, @71Polara383 installed the new springs (7-leaf, as correct for the A35 towing package) that I'd ordered from ESPO Springs 'n Things back in November 2021 (yep, it's been a while -- I stuffed my C-body Resto pipeline too deeply :rolleyes:, but we are now seeing the light...

    Meet Snow White, my 1970 N-code Dodge Polara Convertible

    ...recommended that I order new springs for Snow White. She has the A35 trailer-towing package, so I went for the correct 7-leaf springs from ESPO. They are $340/pair, front eye bolts $8/pair, bushings $21/set, U-bolts $20/set of 4, and shipping to Wyatt's shop is $139.34. They are made in...

    Leaf Spring Sag, 1970 Fury Convertible

    Thank you, this is useful information. Something additional that I'll need to check before I choose between ESPO and Eaton. A few questions: 1. are the front bushings pressed in, or did you need to specify a request for that to be done? 2. did you buy shackles, or are you hoping to re-use...

    New to forcbodiesonly ; Love Shack

    @Love Shack, I just saw your post about ESPO leaf springs and realized that I'd never say "welcome" -- so here it is, belatedly! I own a cousin to your car. Poppy (my '70 Polara 'vert) has 33k miles and is still on its original springs. @polara71 and @cantflip think it'd do her good to get new...

    Rear leaf spring shackles

    My own experience differs in that respect. Medina, my 1971 Monaco, had rear air shocks when I bought her in Winter 2019. The ride was super stiff as the shocks had been raised to the maximum setting. Things did improve a bit after @71Polara383 lowered the pressure and brought the ride height...
