? about shackle
I just put all new suspension on my 68 (mono-leafs). I want the back to set up about 1 to 2 inches higher. What is the best way to do this with out useing air shocks? If you say shackle extension will that effect the ride of the car?
Thanks,

Well its too late now, but places like Year One carry modified mono-leafs that allow you to adjust the ride height (up or down) in 1/2 inch increments up to 2-inches.
This is much more desireable and doesn't sacrifice the ride quality.

An easy and fairly inexpensive way to raise the rear I found by accident is to get a set of South Side Machine Co. Lift Bars. They are pretty much just traction bars but when installed will raise the rear atleast 2". I got mine new from someone that decided to go with a tubbed rear but I believe that they can be had for around $130.
