rearend question
I bought a 67 gmc that had already been lowered when i got it.When i got it home i got to looking at the stance and noticed it set a little lower in the back about an inch.What do you all think would be the best way to raise the back up about an 1.5" and where to get the parts

Re: rearend question
best thing would be higher springs. early classic enterprises are great to deal with. i bought a set and did not like the stance and they took them back and sent me a lower set. the other thing would be a larger set of tires but will change your gear ratio, launch. dont know if that is a concern or not but it will not pull as hard with larger diameter tires.

Re: rearend question
1 leaf is usually 1.5". How low is it? Got a pic by chance?
