I used pucks on my B-body but due to the suspension design, I could get more lift on my car with a smaller puck.
A-Body,
B-Body
B-body is a 3 to 1 lift ratio but it looks like the A-body is only going to get on inch of lift for a one inch puck due to where the spring is located.
Has anyone used these spacers in an A-Body or should he try somethin else.
back springs are easy to change and not that expensive, Thats the route i would take

I changed the springs first with my car and I found that the ones I ordered were way too stiff.
I put the originals back and added the spacers.
Love the ride.
A spring that would give him a 1 - 2" lift would be awesome.

Back in the day I used wagon rear springs, there were lots available back then. The ends of the springs are the same on GM rear wheel drive cars probably until the end of production. I took the new cargo coils out of a 69 Chevelle parts car and replaced them with 1985 Caprice rear springs. The Caprice springs were too long, it was really high but good enough to get rid of the car.
My brother has a Oshawa built 1969 Malibu Convertible
(not his)
He wants to raise the back end.
Nothing dramatic, he just wants to level the car off.
