    So my car looks slightly sagged in the rear. I want to raise it about a inch in the back. Whats my best course of action? I dont want to air shock it or anything. Just wanting to level it out a bit. Inch at most. Would new springs do that? Do they make a slightly stiffer spring for b bodys?

    New springs should bring it back up to factory height. Odds are very good you still got the original springs in it.

    There was a stiffer spring option from the factory, though I have no idea what the part number is.

    I replaced the rear springs in my '66 Wildcat. Now, when I enter the alley behind my house, I do not bottom out if there is anything in the trunk. Leveled the car right out. I got my springs through Rockauto.com

    I'll look onto replacing them. I'd like a slightly stiffer idk if I can get em.

    Rock auto lists the same for centurion and wagons. So I guess I'll just try those.

    I really like the air shocks I put on my 64 Wildcat. Not only did it help my clearance issues but it firmed up my ride without becoming too firm. Also, they come in handy when traveling with the kids or friends in the back. 45 psi for two and 60 psi for four
