Just had new multi leafs and shocks installed in my car...what a difference in ride and handling! My question is...how do I lift the rear end ever so slightly?. My car has the typical camaro stance...looks just a bit lower in back than front. I would like it to be just a bit higher in back...not a rake, just a slight lift. Whats the easiest way to do this?

What size are your rear tires b/c they will be the easiest, but not the cheapest to use to alter your rake??

I'm running 15's, BF Goodrich Radial TA's...don't want to go with a bigger tire. These 8x15 rims are too big as it is!

Herb Adams VSE used to sell a long shackle set that was an inch or two longer than stock. They were just the right length to compensate for the typical GM sagging leaf springs. They are no longer in business as far as I know. They were made of about 3/8" thick steel, with a square-broached hole in one end & a round one in the other, & came with longer bolts to allow for the thickness. Probably wouldn't be hard to custom-make a set with a jigsaw, a drill, & a small file.

Thanks, jimfulco, but I just installed new multi-leafs in the rear, with new Edelbrock performer shocks all around. So it aint exactly saggin'. It handles great, it just that I like the look of a slight lift in back. (Am I crazy or what?)
And, pdq67, tires are BF Goodrich Radial T/A:
Front P215/65 R 15 95 S
Rear P255/60 R 15 102 S
Any ideas?
