I always liked the old school jacked up all the way around look..But the question is does anyone have pics of a later b body with a tall stance in the front and a lil higher in the back?? How would she look like that??

I have a basically stock ride height in the front and jacked up in the back. Suits this body style IMO.

I love your Satellite! How did you raise the rear? I don't see shackles.

No overly long shackles for me! Mine are stock length. Recuved leaf springs is the ticket. Probably the only thing the previous owners of my car did right!

Just crank up the torsion bars . If you don't like it , turn em down to where you do. Once you like it, get an alignment. Don't expect it to corner very well though. Myself I kinda look the mile high look cause it kinda resmbles the gassers. Go for it, then post pic's.


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.

Here is my 68' Coronet. New heavy duty 6 leaf springs from ESPO in back. These are the stock ride height springs. I raised up the front a little bit. Did this in 2004.

Well I ended up playing around just with the floor jack to look at the way she'd sit. Also cant find the dang camera so I didn't get any pictures. I dont think so with that body style, so she sits like she did before very similar setup to daytona turbo.. Oh yea you guys have some real nice cars...

I ordered a set of rear springs from springs and things last week. They look great. They also had +1 and +2 inch over stock IIRC.
