Easiest way to raise rear 71 cutlass conv
Hey Guys looking for the easiest simplest and cost effective way to raise the rear of my Cutlass, I have some rim rubbing issues on the Passenger side and don't want to cut anything. Everything is stock looking to raise 1" to 2"? Rubs on the back rear of the inner fender.
Thanks

look up Moog 5415 springs - have them on my '72 ragtop with 245-60-R15 on 8" rims + 1" spacers (9" total width). no rub or clearance issues. may be an option for you as well.

What size tires and wheels do you have? The 70-72 Cutlass rear wheel wells are huge and can easily fit 295-50-15 tires with lots of clearance.

22" X 10.5" I know that's part of the issue huge rims back there but I don't want air ride or coil over springs.
