[Cudajason]

I ordered parts for another project. Like I do not have enough to do already!!!

Oh well. any guesses whats next...well 4th on my list...

Hotchkiss eh? Frt suspension? T bars?

From the size of the box...rear package tray...the way you luck has been with the over heating......you should be able to pull off the package tray job in about...hmm....two months....   .  lol

Sorry...jk

Rear springs? T-bars? sub frame connectors?

Sway bar

[Filthy Filbert]

Well, I know you aren't working on a Dakota.  Hotchkis won't make anymore dakota parts, they won't say how many sets need to be sold to justify another run of Dakota parts, and they won't sell the specs so we can go to another vendor to make Dakota parts. 

So part of me wants to say 'to hell with hotchkis' haha

Gen III Hemi conversion ?

Gen III Hemi conversion ?

@anlauto , you sir are obsessed with that conversion!  Let it go man let it go.

Sway bar

@B5fourspeed   Oh, good guess...no.  I have factory sway bars on both ends, but I may upgrade to aftermarket ones in the future.

Hotchkiss eh? Frt suspension? T bars?

@jimynick Close...I already have big t-bars in the front, so no need to upgrade there.   Although I do want to go with some aftermarket UCAs at some point.

@dodj   Ouch man, ouch, unfortunaly you are not far from the truth on that...my luck these days with the car is horrible.  It makes me a little gun shy to attempt anything new. 

Funny enough the rear package tray does need some attention, but no.

you are correct with the rear springs though.

My car rides like a buck board so I have wanted to try new springs for a while.  I figure I should be able to get this done in a day.  The old springs have been off in the last few years, new Ubolts, so nothing should be stuck or rust...wait what am I saying, I probably just jinxed the whole deal.  Anyway, once I get a few brake issues sorted out, I will jump on to this.

Well, took me a day and half to get the new leaf springs installed.  Could have done it in a day really, but it was cold and I wanted to go inside!

I love the way it sits, right at 25 inched to the top of the wheel well.

I will report back on how the ride is later.

Looks good Jason!

Looks nice, maybe update this at the end of the summer? Curious to see if they sag any over time?

I think all springs will settle a little bit over the first year......No?
