Re: How best to raise back end?



I don't remember mine doing that Herb, but I've always liked a loud music in my car.  Just enough to drown out traffic.  Hell back when I had these my old car had more squeaks and rattles that a coffee car full of bolts on a dirt road.  But they did the trick of lifting the rear end back up, gave a smooth ride and when I put tons of stuff in the car or full of people it didn't sag or ride hard.

I just read reviews from several people that liked them but complained about the noise created by the spring rattling against the tube.  Loud exhaust or radio should cancel that issue.

These are the ones I was talking about.  Worked wonders on my boat....if they fit your car.

All long shackles will do is exacerbate your springs demise quickly.  Stay away from them, probably the reason they are hard to find, I'm sure.  Re-arch or replace are the best & safest options for your spring issue.  I have had good luck having my springs rebuilt and others on here not so much. 
 
There are other options such as air shocks or air bags but all they do is cover up the problem.  Air shocks have been the cause of many a broken shock mount because the shock mounts were never designed to carry the weight of the car, just the shock.  But both are viable options if that is the path you want to take, but both were designed to assist the spring in caring excess weight not to replace the springs job.
 
Again stay away from long shackles.

My '62 Sport Fury sits low in the back end by at least 2-3 inches, I'm assuming because the leaf springs might be worn out?  We are thinking about getting leaf springs re-arc'd (there is a guy in Great Falls MT that does it), or perhaps putting on a longer rear spring shackle.  I looked on-line for a longer shackle but didn't immediately see one.  Any thoughts on where a guy could get a longer shackle, or whether it's better to have springs re-arc'd?  Thanks - Wade
