I know I know I know, its a c body and nobody makes a damn kit for anything, if we wanted a cookie cutter car we would all be driving cuda's...... anyway 68 Fury III ....
I want to do a rear spring Inboard like you can get threw Mopar Performance but obviously no direct kit is available, an I use a b-body kit and use the front spring buckets in the kit to make the front spring eyes work? and I can fab the swing shackle brackets im sure. just wondering if anyone else had done it... and im aware the inner fenders will be heavily modified =-)
if you do it, donĀ“t forget that the springs are not parallel at c-bodies. and the more you move them inside, the worst the cornering. if that is an issue.

my springs are also parallel..... strange that's news to me. also my other idea was fabbing a triangulated 4 link under the car (I have done quiet a few of these with great success, I also enjoy Minitrucks and air ride that's what I do most of my fab work on) I mostly want to inboard the springs because I really want to run massive rubber, but don't want to do full back half and tubs... this car is a corner carver.... currently on IRCA Approved 15x8's all around and 255/60/15 rubber. but want to change all the wheels to 17x9 front and 17x13 rear....

Wouldn't be so sure about have to mess with the inner fenders...I've looked into this for my '66, I've got 13"+ from fender lip to inner well lip...11.5" ET street looks small in there...
I moved my springs in the little amount I was able to without going inboard of the rear rails and got a 295-65-15 drag radial in it without any issue. The springs are about 1/4 inch from the tires but have plenty clearance to the wheel tubs.

I have also thrown the idea around of triangulated 4 link with col overs but I cant find any in expensive coilover kits (including the coil over shock, springs shock tabs ad adjusters and a shock cross member
