My satellite sits way too low even with air shocks, what’s a nice leaf spring to go with. I’ve used super stock leaf springs and they ride super stiff and some times sit too high.

I would say, whatever spring the factory used back then would be the best. Go to ESPO Springs & Things.com. They have all the factory blueprints for leaf springs for cars back in the day. Plus you can even order them in +1 inch or +2 inch extra lift. Check it out.

Will do thank you. Might the one extra height or maybe even two. They sat pretty low from the factory

Yes they did sit sorta low from the factory. That's why most of the guys use to put air shocks on the backs of there cars back in the day. And we use to turn the torsion bars up on the front too, so the cars stance was higher. It just seem to look better for some reason. But what did we know, we were only kids back then. laugh
