Do my rear springs look "tired"?

[moparcanuck]

Just wondering if my rear springs are a little low. Or are they ok? Running 275/60R15s - 28"
tire.

do you happen to have air shocks Bernie? my GTXer looks bout the same, but I have stupid air shocks that leak out after two weeks and she squats like that

I think everyone expects to see these cars sit up like some kid hot rodded the car in high school. They sat low from the factory.

Look at the original Plymouth advertisement picture below. Remember that this car has 14" rims with 70 series tires, so 15" rims will be a 'bigger circle' than the 14's and sit that much closer to the lip of the fender, making the car look lower.

Bottom line is - in my opinion, your springs don't look tired at all...

Looks about the same as my 69 Runner with 275's and new hd springs.

Looks great to me. If you're happy with the how it rides then I would not change anything.

Amen brother! I am not a fan of the stinkbug stance (or air shocks for that matter). With bigger/taller tires, the rear has to be lowered to maintain the same stance.

'canuk, your car's stance looks great!
