What would be the best way to lift a car back end up with out using air shocks just need a few inches
 
Spend the money and get some new springs. You can get them with extra lift. tmm
 
Extra height springs. Espo has 'em available or you cann get 2-4 overheight from JC Whitney. Whitneys come from John R Spring only cheaper than direct.
 
what model and year ? 135 a side plus tax from Ma Mopar for SS springs , some guys don't like the stance and order 2 for the same side , passenger side are taller than drivers by a little bit . They also sell the longer shocks designed for them for about 50 bucks a side , pick em up at the dealer and there is no shipping just your local sales tax .
 
this will cost nothing if you can weld and drill holes. move the front spring hanging down as far as you can. drill holes in the hanger for the spring bolt below what is there now. if you need to raise the back more weld on a section to the bottom of the hanger and drill holes.
 
A jack.....Sorry, couldn't resist...


Seriously though, new springs, add a helper spring, or have a spring shop re-arch your springs
 
Last week, I ordered new leaf springs from ESPO (based on FABO recommendations) and they were very good in helping me select what I needed for the look and ride I wanted. They can bend them for whatever lift you are looking for, were priced very reasonably, and shipped within a week of the order. Mine should be here this Wednesday.
 
thanks for the tip on ESPO, 67CudaBob. I just sent them an email / request for quote.

One question though, is it true that almost any A-Body leaf spring could work on my 1963 Valiant v200 (225)?
For example, I found one place that sells them for "65-76 Valiant, Dart, Scamp" , 6 leaf (2.5" lift), for $110 each.

I find it odd that nobody lists leaf springs for this particular 1963 model.

...maybe i'm better off going with ESPO anyway since they match their pairs. I guess I'll have to wait and see what kind of price they are asking.
 
amazing response from ESPO!
Wow, at $205 for the matched pair - it would be almost dumb to buy them anywhere else.

Thanks again for the tip, I appreciate it!
 
I've got a pair of +2 leaf springs made by Eaton that I pulled off my '67 Barracuda. I thought I already had them sold, but the buyer hasn't contacted me back about them for over 6 weeks. I was asking $50 plus shipping. The springs look almost like new. My only reason for removing them from my car is that I wanted to drop the rear. I will contact him again to see if he still wants them.
 
Sent you a message. Somehow missed your reply!
 
What about a nice set of 4" stilletos?


Seriously, a set of super stock leaf springs will work nice...
