Raising the rear end


I've seen plenty of rear end lowering kits everywhere, but I can't seem to find anything for RAISING the rear end. I'm only looking for about 1" to 2". Is there a kit for this or is there another method?

Do a Shelby drop in front & improve the handling in the process.

I had a 6 leaf spring made at a local shop price was good and the ride sweet. 1 leaf extra = 1 in, or they can re-arc them to give you an inch....

That's what's on mine, and it gives the illusion of raising the rear, without raising the rear.

If the back was rasied on mine it would be too much.

If you have the orignal leaf springs on your car. Just putting new leaf springs will raise your car 1 1/2. I use 4 1/2 leaf springs Mid eyes.

Thanks for the advice guys, sounds like new springs should take care of what I need.

Now that I've finally got her back from the body shop, I should be able to post pics in a day or two.
