aprox how much of a lift did you get? im looking for a a couple inches or more i have side pipes on her and there are some real bad speed bumps lol. plus i live in canada so im usually buying stuff from rock auto or summit.

Why not try some rear air shocks? They will do exactly what you want

well the springs are nice and cheap and no wirinf to install a compressor, so will those b body springs work? or should i go with something more heavy duty, those are the variable rate ones thanks

Air shocks are very simple. Just run the hose & mount the valve stem somewhere. You air them up just like you would a tire. I'm not sure if those springs would work, I'd think you'd have much more luck with Gbody wagon springs. I have a good used set of those.

Adding air shocks doesn't require a compressor to be added to the car, you just plumb the shocks together with the added lines to connect them and then run the pressurize line to a place of choice (either in the trunk floor or drill a small hole in panel behind license plate and put a retainer nut on the nozzle and wa la! pump it up til the desired height is achieved and your in the shizzy!

ok well i will have to look at some, cause i know i have seen guys with the back all jacked up with B body springs and they are real cheap, and im on a pretty strick budget these days. basically i want it like this.
