Riding higher than I’d like!!!

Hey guys is this four wheeling or what?
This thing is riding way too high in the rear.
I need to lower it.
Last time I had this issue I got sone worn out springs.
There probably too heavy duty or something just like the single line fuel sender tha was I n this car “wrong parts” how the hell did they get in there?
I am on a slight incline sloping down to the left side as I am in a crooked parking lot

Granted I am on a slight incline sloping down to the left side as I am in a crooked parking lot

Here's some spring info I archived from the online Moog catalog. Dunno why there's no listing for the rear springs, but you can find a suitable spring from comparing the specs for other years.

springs

What and where did you get the springs you have now? As Fun71 said Moog makes springs Eaton makes them. I like Old Cutlass's Idea best, stick a couple of big fat chicks in the back and drive with it!!!!

Springs were already in the car not sure where that came from like I said this guy put the wrong sending unit in the car for the fuel tank so apparently he didn’t care about putting the correct stuff in the car I don’t really give a Hoot either I just want it a little bit lower as far as the fat chicks I really don’t know any!
Maybe bags of sand Or maybe I’ll buy those cheap things that squeeze the spring down ha ha Ha
According to fun71’s chart 6321 is the one I need

Hey Johnny some people still like the California rake. I just looked up those springs (6321) on the rock auto sight $61 for that price its worth the try, rear springs are easy not like the fronts. I would try that. As far as the Fat Chicks, there all over up here, I'll send you a couple.

Vehicle was previously employed as a drug runner. Two hundred kilos (440 lbs) of Kosher Kush or Hindu Kush in the trunk would flatten out the cars profile so as not to draw attention to it while cruising the Interstates.

You get the "higher in front, squat in the back" when you put your foot into it.

What about 15 inch rims in the back with a beefier tire like a 275 that’ll fill up the wheel well and give me a rake to.
15 inch rims do they come in a 15 x 8 from the factory? What are those called SS3 rooms or is that just mean 15 by sevens and they don’t make 15 x 8? I forget


Tuesday at the park riding high Day two

15x7 was the only factory size. 15x8 would be either aftermarket wheels or have a set of factory wheels widened.
