Re: Ride height

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

New rear springs will help. If that's not enough, you can replace the 
shackles with longer ones using a "lift kit" (available at your neighorhood 
parts store). The lift kits are universal and contain 4 bolts/nuts, some 
washers, and 4 pieces of steel bar stock with evenly spaced holes drilled in 
them so you can set the height where you want it.
You're supposed to cut the extra bar off when you're done, but so many 
people back in the day left them hanging there for the world to see. That's 
what you call "old school".
