I have a 55 second series frame that was previously fitted with an early camaro subframe.
I want to increase the ride height in the front end so the truck sits up a bit more.
What would be the best way? Are there taller springs available? should I just use spring spacers?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Carl

I put (2) 1 inch spacers in each side to raise mine up a bit. Is it possible those springs have been cut? Stock, uncut springs measure 16in uncompressed. So if you remove them, cut springs will just fall out and uncut will have to be pryed out.
Hope this helps.

I will have to pull the springs out and check them for height.
I'm affraid that on my budget I cannot afford to buy the coil overs right now.
Wilbur: What kind of spacers did you use? Are they picture on your website?
Thanks again!
