For wheels to fit? If so, what size rim/tire combo are you looking at?
They make lift front spindles that fit these cars if you want to raise the front also.
And yes, b body springs will lift the rear. Not really sure on exactly how much though. Something to consider is how worn your exsisting suspension parts are now.
I myself would just do fresh stock height suspension with a body lift ( on whatever type of vechicle) so I wouldnt mess up the suspension too much, shock extentions, etc,,, and worry about angles and stuff. Not sure about linkage and/ steering shaft issues though. Plus there would be the added bonus of knowing you got the same amount of lift all the way around.
I have seen body lift kits for G bodys for sale.

I would agree with the body lift. It will save you the hassles of dealing wit the suspension. Since these cars are very popular in the "donk" scene you can lift it 2 inches or 15 inches. I know of a few sites thay have 3in body lifts for about $300
I got some 255/30 R22. I was going to do a body lift but when i seen it in person i didnt like the look..
FWIW 22s in a 30 series(like you have) can fit with little to no mods if you wanted. MANY people have just done new stock height shocks and springs and fit them on without issue. Depending on offset and tire width of course. If you know this already then please disregard.
Im pretty sure 22s with 30 series is the limit on G body cars though. Wagons and Caminos may have more room. I cant say for sure.
But if you just want to raise it anyway, I would go with the body lift as I mentioned earlier.
And I agree, body lifts on these cars dont look all that great to me either. I actually dont care for the lifted look on cars at all lol. Im in the process of lowering my car and getting the stance right where I want. But I do like how a tastful set of 22s look on a Gbody with a good stance.
Any pictures with the wheels on yet?
