for whatever reason, when I went back to my street set-up, I've got 26 1/2" from ground to top of fender lip front and rear.

What can I do to get about a 1/2" of lift in the rear. I've used 5/8" heater hose and wrapped the coil springs before, but I don't think that will give me 1/2".

Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you put the donuts back on with the springs? That
ought to give you more ride height with stock springs
than most people want.

Gabriel air shocks out back, on mine, let me push it up
for loads but I leave them at no pressure most of the
time.

I guess I left out important info.

I've got bilstein shocks and hypercoil springs. I do run the isolator up top on the rear springs. I may just try lining the coils w/ heater hose top and bottom to see what I get.

An inexpensive fix to raise rear-coil spring boosters
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...rtnumber=18900
Raising/lowering body/chassis relative to rearend assembly affects/changes 'pinion angle'
I used the 'boosters' to raise the body/chassis back up to factory height after I replaced the OEM rear shocks with QA1 Double Adjustable shocks.Since the OEM shocks are gas-charged and the QA1s' are not(rear suspension springing comes from the coil springs AND the shocks' gas charge),it created a slightly lower rear stance.I didn't want to put up with a lower condition because of the TCI deep trans pan.

once I get it to the height I need, I'll adjust the pinion angle w/ the adjustible torque arm -just got to get it there first!
Thanks for the info. I'm checking it out.
