Need to raise rear - but how?

[68fish]

Have you figured out how much you want to raise it? I don't think it would be hard at all to modify the factory mounts to accommodate just about what ever height adjustment you need.

Come on - no one else is gonna hit this one out of the park?

That reminds me of your old Loverboy concert shirt. Hot pink, cut off super short "Get it up- Keep it up"

That was too easy and no one hit it. That shirt, however, is Wendy's and she still has it.

just put a set of airshocks under it.till u figure out which way to go!

Just a bit of info for you guys, I used to build street rods a "while" back using Mistake II front suspensions. The easy way to cut coil springs is to submerse them in a bucket of water, where the water is just below the where you wish to cut. Use a air operated cut off grinder. The heat doesn't transfer down the coils, so you don't lose the tensile strength. Just a suggestion from an old hot rodder.

Mine has been sitting on Gabriel skyjackers for what seems like forever! I keep meaning to 4link it, but get distracted by other projects. For what it's worth they do the job really well for the 42$ I paid.

(kidding...great tip. one I'll have to remember)

I think the caltracs use the rear sec of leaf for spring/height call them and ask how much for diff rear sec.

[Mopar to ya]

I know this has been a long time, but I can give you the correct answer to the problem. I got the numbers off the old mono leafs. I called Caltrac and told him how much higher I wanted to go, and he sold me new back halves to the existing mono leafs. They were half the price of a whole new set and raised me up beautifully. I spent $189 and got the stance I wanted. Life is good.

That is great news!! Good for both you and them.

The Mr Gasket shackles will work also. I have used them before to raise the back some. They have about 5 holes in them and what I did is find the hole that raised it about an inch. Then cut the shackle off just below the hole and paint them black. That way they look stock and you dont have 4 inches of shackle hanging down below the rear of the spring. I hate when I see long shackles hanging down below the spring in the rear of a car. Ron
