Default Leaf Spring Selection

Has anyone with a 68 installed leaf springs from Mustangs Plus in the
last year or so? If so, how many leafs did you get and with which eye
position? Also what is the distance from the center of the wheel to
the top of the wheel opening? I can’t think of a good way of choose
without a measurement like this. Thanks.

I use a mid eye with standard 4 leaf springs on all my cars. Expect the 5
leaf to ride much harder.

Mark, thanks for the reply. Can you tell me the distance from the
center of the wheel to top of the wheel opening?
