I am wanting to raise the rear of my '67 Cutlass by about 2 inches. The original coils have collapsed over the years. The front coils have also, but not quite as much as in the rear. No; it has never been used to tow anything.
I don't mind the car being "lowered" a tad, but I don't like the rear being lower than the front. I'd rather have a little "rake" on it. I'm thinking that if I put new coils in the rear; that will take it higher than I want.
What would be the best, longest lasting, most reliable, way to achieve this? I'm not crazy about air shocks. Maybe air bags?
Thanks, in advance for any suggestions. Be gentle. I'm an "old fart".......(62).
