Okay i am lost here...

I took the who rear suspension out before i left for school 2 years ago. I fixed everything that was wrong with the car underneath, and now it came time to bolt everything back together....

it seems my perches are for multi leaf springs and i have mono's

Everything bolted up there seems to be about an inch play in between the spring pads....

so i guess i need a spacer of some kind...

the previous owner really made a frank-n-stien of a car...

anyone know where i could get something like this?

To hold your ride height, the spacer will have to go under your mono's. Above will lower your car.

thanks, didn't think of that but...
my problem is trying to find the right spacers (where to buy, how to make). I lost them 2 years ago... :(

my garage is a mess :(

They are called, "lowering blocks", and I think Speedway and Summit sell them, but I haven't checked in years??

Back again, I just looked at both of them.

Summit has a big selection of this stuff, just type in "lowering blocks" and it pulls right up.

So does Speedway here.

It depends on the height of your multi- perches height for spacer block thickness??
