I like the ride height of your car. Can you please tell me what brand of rear shocks you have and whether or not you have replaced the leaf springs?

There KYB shocks, and the leaf springs on these vehicles are known to crack which they were so they were completely replaced them. Unfortunately they are a little stiff. I’m hoping with time will soften up. It also raised the rear end up a little bit as you can see, I also like that.

1973 Plymouth Fury Gran Sedan recently sold in Louisville, KY. I am not a fan of the 1973 Fury, or of triple-pickles, in general. Every rule has its exceptions: here is one, as these wheels do wonders for the looks IMHO -- to the point that this car looks really good to my eyes.
