Triton leaf springs into 99 model challenger

[flyinwall]

i have been thinking since the challenger is basicly a triton wagon would the rear leaf springs be similar as i am in desperate need of new rear springs
i know that they would be different spring ratings but are fitment and diff placement the same (i think the triton springs will also give a couple of inches of lift as well which would be a bonus as i am looking at fitting bigger wheels down the track)
any help with this would be much appreciated

ok after all the responses i have received saying they will fit i took a trip out to the wreckers and got myself a pair out of a 2001 triton ($88 each)
got them home and removed a spring from the challenger and laid them out besides each other and..........

they are NOT the same.... triton spring on the top
take notice to the front of the spring



considering how much bow is in the challenger springs they sat almost flat while on the car

distance from wheel to guard with original springs (6")


"new" spring pack after i added a leaf from the triton pack and changed the overload springs over (the pack on the bottom)



and the new distance from wheel to guard with the "new" spring pack (after i went for a drive to settle them in)(8")



there is also another reason why the triton springs wont fit the challenger as the front spring pin is a different size, triton is 14mm challenger is 16mm

Hi Flyinthewall,
Your best bet, was to take your original springs to a black smith, after removeing the two rubber gromits and got him to re tension the whole set of springs Via heating them up, then once you had them back home, you could then add further leafs as required, sorry being so late in spotting your post, so if your still not happy with your end results, then this the way to go, best of luck.

at the moment i am very happy with the results but time will tell how they go and it only cost me $176 for a 2" lift (cant complain about that)
