leaf spring spacer

[dancingsteven]

Have any of you guys ever put a leaf spring spacer in the rear leaf spring to lower the rear end of a 68 Dodge Charger? If you did, how good did the car handle after you did it?

Placing a spacer between the axle & leaf spring will lower the rear end.

There’s no reason this should alter the handling much. Probably slightly better due to less body roll. Would you be doing this for handling alone or for the look of it with the handling as a side concern?

I bought my 65 Coronet already lowered by the previous owner. With stock suspension, wide tires and no sway bars it actually drives and handles pretty nice. A lot better than my wife's 65 Belvedere wagon behind it. I added front and rear sway bars and rebuilt the stock suspension on the wagon. The skinny stock tires are what my wife wanted so that has a lot to do with the handling.

I'm afraid to ad sway bars to the lowered Coronet. They might be too low. I'm already cautious going over speedbumps.
