Can you even buy SS springs from Mopar anymore? Probably NS1 like everything else in the parts catalog. The quality went downhill anyways when they moved production of them from Canada to Mexico.
That being said, the original 002/003 springs will require a 2" longer front hanger due to the shorter segment. I had a pair of those on a '65 Coronet. Without the longer front hanger, I could still safely run a 28x10.5 MT on the car without rubbing. To get the proper geometry, you have to make a new hanger hole in the frame rail ahead of the original to correct rear hanger location. It was a bracket car, but a simple way to alter the wheelbase a bit.
Mopar did sell an S/S spring for heavier cars that did not require the longer hangers. My personal opinion...Buy the Launchers.
