Rear End Lift

[Pete]

A few of you said you had springs that raised the rear end. Were they aftermarket or for a different vehicle? Where did you find them? I did most of my rebuild shopping at Summit and Gbodyparts.com. Have you all found any websites that you use a lot for g body parts? Thanks again

well I work in a shop so I just go to the district parts dealer page and we get all the shop catalog sites so it's easy for us but my springs were just cargo station wagon springs for the same vehicle essentially

Find which spring # is in your car and then you can get a idea of the spring rates and heights from this chart :
http://www.maliburacing.com/coilspring.htm
Once you get a spring # do a price check at Autozone for a local pick up their Duralast springs are TRW and they are the same main # as Moog ( that is what I have found ) .
If you order from somebody google the Spring # and find the lowest price cause Jegs & Summit will pricematch as long as the price is verified .
Also try http://www.northernautoparts.com/ they have good prices on Moog steering componets.

When i wanted different springs for the back of mine i went to napa and they pulled up what mine were from factory. it said everything about the spring, length, compressed length, compression rate, diamiter, mounting and probably more. i just looked through some other cars with coil springs until i found the ones i wanted, they also had 3 different choices for every car so it didnt take too much to find the right one

I put 235 70s on the rear and 215 60s on the front and put air shocks on the rear. Gives it a nice stance the air schocks give it a nice ride.
