Raise rear end of 1973 Mustang

zreg · May 31st, 2006, 09:55 PM

I have a 1973 Mustang Convertible. The rear end sits lower than I would like, but only by a couple of inches. I do not want to drop the leaf springs and was wondering if there were shocks available that would give a little lift.

You could use air shocks to raise the rear.

Thanks Darrell! Any brand recommendations?

I guess Gabriel or Monroe would be good but anything will work.

any reason why you dont want to replace your leaf springs? most of them sag after time..

No reason, in fact, this is the plan. There is a place on the east cost that sells the whold set for $150 bucks but the shipping costs are another 50 to 75 dollars.
