DSE Heavy-Duty Leaf Spring Pocket Kit (040111DS) - 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova
Strengthen a critical rear suspension mounting point on your classic GM X-Body with the Detroit Speed Heavy-Duty Leaf Spring Pocket Kit. Designed for 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova applications, part number 040111DS provides a significantly stronger alternative to the factory leaf spring pockets while supporting both stock leaf spring suspensions and Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear suspension systems. The reinforced design connects into doubler plates on the top side of the floor pan, creating a stronger mounting structure for performance street, Pro-Touring, autocross, and track builds.
Detroit Speed also incorporates an additional link mounting location positioned 1 inch higher than the stock location for QUADRALink applications. The pocket assemblies feature a bolt-on design for easier installation and can be removed after the vehicle is painted. Powder-coated pockets provide a durable finished surface, while the complete kit includes left- and right-hand heavy-duty leaf spring pocket assemblies, matching floor doubler assemblies, leaf spring pocket hardware, bushing hardware, and installation instructions.
