Looks like Thumper has a lot of tire "stuffed" in there.

You'll have to tell the spring shop what diameter you need the new centerbolts and how long. They should know the diameter if you're buying new main leafs there of course. Most likely you'll get a generic centerbolt that will be a touch long and you can trim it with a hacksaw when the spring pack is assembled.

Not the best camera angle (only pic I got at the shop with a decent side view). But I think higher gives a better look/tire clearance. Mopar XHD springs

@BIGSHCLUNK Beautiful Challenger! Love the stance. Any chance you could provide measurements from ground to fender lip? Front and back? Like to see how it compares to mine.  :cheers:

This measurement.

Definitely too low.
Cudas were higher than challengers. Factory service manual has the rear fender about upper mid sidewall on challengers.  Not too different from the op's pic.
Most people raise it up. I kept mine factory rear height but lowered the front.

275/60/15s on homemade widened Rallyes to 8.5"
with 4-3/4 BS.
No rubbing but is close everywhere.
Past couple years it has drooped further than I like.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
