    need help on raising ride height

     



    hi I recently bought a 79 camaro as my first project car.
    however the rear sags.. eventhough i replaced the shocks
    witha gas shock and my leaf springs are fairly new..
    what can i do to raise the ride height.. should i just cut large
    block of steel put holes in them and install it like a washer
    for my leaf springs... I really want the rear to raise up higher
    than the front for bigger and wider tires... well thank you
    and if you can show me a pic of your construction it be really
    helpful...
    need to b taught

    I think you should have invested in a set of air shocks rather than the gas ones.
