Spring Spacers

[john wise]

I have a 62 Impala. It has the 409 coil springs on the rear. I would like to raise the rear end 1 or 2 inches, preferably 2. Is there an easy way to do this? Do those spring spacers actually work?

Best bet is new springs. Be careful with getting too high in the rear as you will get u joint vibrations from rear pinion angle getting too steep. One thing leads to another….

Thanks for the info.

I have a NOS box of the rubber dog bone spring spacers I'll not use if you're interested...I believe I paid $40 for them years ago and will gladly make them yours in interested...

Thanks for the offer. I think I will replace the springs, they are most likely overdue.

Rear springs are a lot easier to replace compared to the front.

Yes they do. I use the twist in ones that you use a 1/2" breaker bar and extension to put them in. I use 2 of them to raise each side 1"

I must be lucky then, I've never had one come out on me in all the years I've used them, inc. at the track racing with them in my Camaro.

Royal oak on site here is taking this station wagon springs out of 62 convertible. Only problem is they are in Michigan. Shipping might be the killer.
