Sagging Rear end

The rear of my 67 is sagging quite a bit. I was curious what some of you guys have done to rectify this problem, as well as getting a little higher lift than stock.

Thanks

Very common problem, you need new leaf springs!!

Thanks for the reply, but I guess what I was hoping for was: What are people doing to get higher than stock lift on the rear of their cars?

You can get special springs that are arched higher than stock. Only trouble with them is they may say 1 inch over stock, but if your springs have sagged 2 inches, and you dont realize its that much, BAM 3 inches of lift!

How old are your springs? If they are original, you may have not only the sagging, but loss of spring rate as well. My bro's 65 coupe was really sagging in the rear and new leafs not only got it back to where it should be, it eliminated the squat on acceleration.
Have not heard, ever, of replacement springs not getting a car high enough. Have heard lots of times of the car being too high and people resorting to reversing the eyes in the main leaf and/or adding lowering blocks.

ANY 37 year old rear springs should be recycled. Buy new, you will need to decide if you want mid eye or reverse eye based on your height req. I would choose mid eye as new stronger springs will be a LIFT over those crap springs you now have, Yes I am R Code's Bro!

OOOPS MATH ERROR! Thought that was a 1965.

Had the same problem on my '65. I replaced the springs with stock springs. When I decided I wanted just a little more lift I added South Side Machine lift bars. It brought it up about another inch or so.

Try the stock springs first, you can always bolt on other stuff later.
Piece of advice, plan on cutting the old eye bolts out of the front. Spent 4 HOURS trying to get one off before my buddy and I gave up and chopped 'em out.

Yup .. That replacement did the trick for me .... I had to cut the bolts to get them out, but it was well worth it... Big Improbment.
