Has anyone used rear spring spacers on their 65-70 B Bodies?
I have what I feel is the perfect rate in the rear, but unfortunately they have sagged a little since new. I'd like to put in another inch or so of lift, but I'm not going through the hassle of doing another set of springs. And air shocks are out since I'm on Ridetech's.
What I'm asking is, does anyone make spacers for our rear springs? The type that either sit at the top or bottom of the spring, not the kind that sit between the windings. I really can't find anything on line that matches my needs.
Cheers, Mark

I installed a spacer block under the spring. Because the spring is forward of the diff the ratio of spacer to height rise is not 1 to 1. My spacer is 3/8" and I know it raised more. You will have to experiment. I believe I made a post on this a while back.

That looks simple plus very neat John. Nice idea.

Thanks Carl. It was fairly easy to do. Oh and I found the post. It was actually a reply to a cdnpont post a few years back. According to my measures back then, the spacer was at 1/2" and it raised a whole inch so ratio has to be 2 to 1.
