    Looking for some tips on how to get a little more height in the rear. I really want to get a more raked look on my 67. Air shocks are out of the question, so I guess it's springs and/or spacers. Looking to go up 1 to 2 inches, so I'm thinking spring spacers would be easiest. Looking for opinions from those that have faced the same. I appreciate the advice.

    Thanks for the link, been thinking of this too. I like the ride it has so i like the idea of being able to stack the spacers to get the height i want. A friend of mine with a 65GTO thought his was sagging in the rear and it sat the same way my Skylark sits. He opted for springs only to find it raised his car like 1/4" and you cant tell by eye, only by tape measure. So now he is thinking of these too. Better than to keep swapping around springs IMO.

    For a 64-66 use can make spacers out of alum or steel plate and stack them.
    '67 is harder since the spring sits on/around a raised pad.... earlier ones had a flat surface the spring sits on.
