On my pink dodge it has camper special springs from a 1969 d200.What has to be done is drill the perch out to 9/16 easy to do i was lucky enough to find a set with the hardware and shackles.The other issue is the rear axle from a d200 is longer in the pinion so it will move your rear axle back a inch had to get a longer drive shaft.I ran it for awhile but wore out my tail shaft bushing.The reason i did it because of wheel hop those heavy springs elimanated all wheel hop.
