: John; had a similar problem. If you have a '69.5 or '70 car, the frame
: rails up top are 3.5" wide, and the springs for a later car are 4" wide.
: I had this problem using springs from a '74 Comet. You can put spacers in
: the shackles, or get new springs. One other thing, what I did, was to cut
: the shackles and space them in the .5". It works, but is not the prefered
: method, as it looks kinda funky. Hope this helps.
The springs are 2&1/2'' wide,center to rear eye is 32',center to front eye is 23'
