    I want to raise the front of my 55 Belvedere coils by an inch or two I have seen the coilspring spacers that go under the coils but now i am seeing that people talk about using spacers on the ball joints also. Has anyone else raised there fronts on 55-56 plymouths. Thanks

    go to espo springs and things and get some new coils and seating pads, betcha there is at least 2 to 3 inches there. Then mr gasket makes the kind of spring rubbers NASCAR uses.

  5. Lower the back the wieght shift will automatically lift the front.

    I don't know that ball joint spacers will work on you belvedeer. It depends on how the ball joint is mounted. Some mount on top of the controll arm and others mount through the controll arm from the bottom.
