Solid mounting the axle to the spring?

yes, getting rid of the OEM garbage design. had some MP circle track springs, advertised as the OEM spring for the A43 cars. but they are 2 inches too short in the front segment. probably going to order a couple B body XHD springs

Maybe AR has the right length hanger.

I got my five leaf packs from John R Spring many moons ago. Be sure to match the front spring bushings to your caltracs. I ordered the wrong solid bushings when I ordered mine and had to buy them again.

the ARE adapter is what i got from mancini. says to use the 22 inch front segment E body spring

 

[XfbodyX]

What PN are your short segment springs?

 

[Ash_Whole]

thats exactly what i wanted to do. those look way longer than mine. P4529414

This whole extended spring hangers is not new, just the people who make them are. I think mopar offered 3 versions.

Here are two of the mopar types. Overall length I recall is like just under 7 3/4 of the ones I use on the 414 springs. But id have to measure to be really sure. Visually they are easy to tell apart.

This might be helpful and explain some of the front segment confusion.

If you still have your 414 springs id look for the 081 extensions.

 

[Ash_Whole]

081 no longer exist. thats why i bought the ones fro mancini. also confusing, states 2" longer, but it needs to be 4 inches longer to use SS springs. FMJ are 24 inch fronts.

looks like you had P4122279, no longer exist either
