Hello GBODYFORUM USERS! I just signed up and i've own my 1984 el camino for about 2 years. I got a shitton of questions and hopefully I can get some help, I recently put in an entire new front end suspension, New control arms, bushings, tie rods, idle and pitman arm and the whole shabam, but what I want to know how to increase my ride hieght, without going over board with adjustable coil overs and sh*t. What springs could lift up my El Co? currently got a v6, and new coils, so ride height is already about taller than it was before; saggy and sh*t, but I want it to be taller to stock, should I just slap on some coils for a v8? (definitely will drop a 350 sometime this year) or what kind of coils would increase my ride height ? alighnment shop says my sh*ts already lifted 2 inches from stock, but I think this is probably how tall it was back in '84 fresh out the factory. (not sure if this is the place or way to post this conversation.

i believe that any answer may help me too. i just installed monroe coil overs for rear and new main coil
springs in rear. rides great. for 56$ for monroe coil overs couldn't go wrong. it rode great in the back. but
like you the front end sags bad. i did notice that there is some twist in spring extenders in the coils now.
running a 350/350. any pointers is always appreciated. thank you again...
