Stance problem, too low in the rear

[Sly_drums]

Just received the new shackles and mounted them, the car now sits perfect, I love it !

And those Boss 351 leaf springs are really cool, they provide modern handling !

Looks good. Is that 1 or 2 inches?

I think the shackle is 2 or 3 inches longer, I have to measure.

I installed 5 leaf springs in mine and must admit it's killing me to see where I'm at when It gets back on the ground.

Looks real fine. I like the stance, even though I am not a fan of extended shackles. A different alternative, though a little late, is taller back tires

Thanks ! Just measured : the new shackles are 3 inch longer

I'm glad you got the ride height where you want it.

Save up for new springs, you'll need them eventually. The extended shackles are a temporary fix at best.

I just bought new springs, shackles, u-bolts, i-bolts and shocks... my 73 has a bad case of the droops that i hope to fix

The springs are brand new, but they are BOSS 351 springs (stiffer than the regular Grande springs) so I think that's why my car was a bit too low in the rear.

I'm really happy with the ride height now, looks perfect !
