So does anybody know if they made rear leaf spring shackles in a longer length?
I would like to raise it about 2 inches.
I have air shocks on it now and hate the ride.
I loved the stock style shocks and ride, bounce and all.
I read some of the threads here about re-arching
and then flattening our not long after.
Not a lot of people happy with the new one available.
New springs and hardware is less than 500 shipped.
Best thing you will do to your car...
Don't wait!
Over the years, I've parted out several sixties and seventies B and C body cars. Most that had the longer rear shackles and air shocks also had issues with the front lower control arm mounting. The control arm pins would work loose in the k-frame sockets, it usually bent the pins and the sockets would be severely egg-shaped. I would recommend new springs.So does anybody know if they made rear leaf spring shackles in a longer length?

1" over. They will settle slightly over the next 5 years or so.So do I go stock?
Go 1 inch raised?
So we can put another couple in the back without dragging bumper or tail pipes.
Suggestions please.
