    I'm trying to figure out the best way to slam my 62 dodge 880. The front is easy. The torsion bars are already cranked out to scrape speed bumps. What's the best way to level out the rear? I don't want to pull out a leaf because I don't want to completely ruin my ride and handling. Do they make lowering shackles for these like they do trucks?
    Also, does anyone know where I could find shocks for it lowered? The fronts gave up a long time ago and I don't think a new set of stock-height shocks would last much longer.

    Thanks, Chris

    Btw, y'all will have to bear with me for a while. This is my first pre-85 car, but I'm a quick study.

    if you use lowering blocks out back you won't need new shocks since the shocks stay in the same place

    Will lowering blocks not set the springs on the ground? The front of the car rides at about 3" and I want to level the rear to about the same.
