My 70 has new edelbrock shocks all the way around and new hotchkis leaf springs in the back with a 1.5" drop. (2" drop spindles in the front).

My question is this.. if I put much weight at all the the trunk, it really drops the level of the back end. One trip to costco and I'm scared to drive it! It did this with the original springs too.

I have no idea how I'll carry bodies in that huge trunk unless I figure this out... :devil:

So, anyone have a good solution for a saggy bottom?

I had the same issue, I looked for an in-expensive way to get the header issue resolved. I bought a pair of summit ceramic coated block huggers that fit real good with my TCI clip. I now there is a performance issue, however, I expect to do some touring so performance is important, but driving around and enjoying the ride is equally important. Hope this helps.

Hey Carnut.

I didn't really follow what you were describing.

Did you find something that would help with the back of the car really dropping when much weight is put in the trunk?

thats an easy fix!

air shocks. inexpensive and easy install too, just bump up the pressure on your next trip to costco and you'll be good to go!

I take the Suburban to Costco if the wife's going--the Civic if I go alone.

air bags

my 66 Elco had the same problem after I did what you did. so I bought those red air bags plumed the air line separately and good to go then when you want to drag race put more air in the right side.:yes:
