best rear shock for adding 1" of height???

Back in the day I used to piece together my leaf springs from several set. Since most of my cars were slants I would add a leaf from a donor spring set. Worked great and was free. You have to have a longer bolt that holds the leaf pack together. I machined them on the lathe. Also, you can usually add one leaf without getting longer U bolts.


I've had to do both. Add leaves to get the rear up a bit, and I've had to remove them to lower the rear. To lower small amounts, I've used lowering blocks.
