Raising the rear

Thanks;
I have a great local automotive spring shop, I'll pay them a visit

Exactly! Have those things re-arched. You may still need new springs, it depends on how much you want the car raised. But the spring shop is the way to do it!

Leaf springs do wear out, and that may be your whole problem if you think the back is too low. The previous owner of my blue car put these ridiculous shackles on to make up for the sag on the worn out springs. Really bad idea, they destroyed the bushings too.

I wound up replacing the leaf springs, and obviously the shackles too, but if you have a local shop that can re-arch them, that might be a more economical way to go.

Wait, I've seen those before!

They were even in a movie, those things are famous!

Didn't work out too well though...
