I am running factory T/A springs (PN 3400048) and adjustable front hangers. High camber springs with flexibility to adjust height at the hanger.
This thread has info on front hangers. https://forum.e-bodies.org/body-shop/5/pst-front-leaf-spring-hanger/15831/

Finally got around to giving the car that 70s stance  Added a few more leaves to the existing leaves.

Did you just add one leaf and what did you do about the centering pin/bolt that aligns the springs ? Was it any problem removing ?

I got a garage to do it for me.  They added a couple of new leaf springs, I don't think there were any issues.

Since this subject has popped up... is it ok to install gas shocks in the rear of these cars?  I believe the originals were just "oil" filled right?

NO on the air shocks!!!!!!

I meant gas filled shocks like for instance Monroe Matics or KYB Gas Adjust, and not pump-em-up air shocks like Gabriel High-Jackers.

My Challenger had KYB Gas Adjust when I bought it. I ran with them for a couple years and they were fine. Went to Bilstiens but didn't feel they were worth the money. I still have the KYB set if you're interested but I think shipping might kill the deal.
