Have a 1968 Coronet, Car is all orginal and I assume the rear leaf springs are stock and orginal also. It seems its sitting lower in the rear and I would like to have it lifted up to either stock apperance or even just a tad higher, Anyone have any ideas what I could do to the rear leaf springs? Or should I invest in a new set of springs through the rear and if so where would be a good place to get some??  I have really good shocks on the car so going in the air bag or air shock suspension is not the direction I really want to go.Thank as always for the response :2thumbs:

Hi 7Chargers, I added an extra leaf to my 72 Charger about 15 years ago and it has held up really nicely. If you want to go new you have choices through Espo, Eaton, Mopar Peformance etc..

If you want a raised rear, go with SS springs.

Air shocks work but make the ride harder on bumps, best to replace those old springs.
