custom rear springs?
 
Hi Guys, need some ideas, installed all new custom springs. requested +1'' front and rear and the height is perfect, unfortunately I can't get the back tires to level out. Looking for ideas to get the tires to ride flat on the ground again, (riding on the edge of the tires right now). :confused13:thanks

Buddy of mine said to put 3 big boned ladies in the back seat and pull a wholeshot, Hmmmm, might work lol

With the tempest suspension you need to run the correct ride height.I dont think anyway to get them flat with out the correct springs.Tom

Put spacers under the transaxle?

I have 1" spacers between my transaxle and the bottom of the cross member that supports the whole unit. It did very little in overall ride height but did improve rebound of the suspension in cornering. Its an old Chevy Corvair fix to limited the "tuck under" on 1st gen corvair's.

Just want to update, ended up putting original springs back on and everything's good to go. Thanks for all the info and ideas.
