I just read reviews from several people that liked them but complained about the noise created by the spring rattling against the tube. Loud exhaust or radio should cancel that issue.

These are the ones I was talking about. Worked wonders on my boat....if they fit your car.

All long shackles will do is exacerbate your springs demise quickly. Stay away from them, probably the reason they are hard to find, I'm sure. Re-arch or replace are the best & safest options for your spring issue. I have had good luck having my springs rebuilt and others on here not so much.

There are other options such as air shocks or air bags but all they do is cover up the problem. Air shocks have been the cause of many a broken shock mount because the shock mounts were never designed to carry the weight of the car, just the shock. But both are viable options if that is the path you want to take, but both were designed to assist the spring in caring excess weight not to replace the springs job.

Again stay away from long shackles.

Subject: How best to raise back end?

My '62 Sport Fury sits low in the back end by at least 2-3 inches, I'm assuming because the leaf springs might be worn out? We are thinking about getting leaf springs re-arc'd (there is a guy in Great Falls MT that does it), or perhaps putting on a longer rear spring shackle. I looked on-line for a longer shackle but didn't immediately see one. Any thoughts on where a guy could get a longer shackle, or whether it's better to have springs re-arc'd? Thanks - Wade
