74 Ventura w/350

[dwashington]

My Ventura is sagging in the rear, I would like to replace the suspension and add a little rake to the rear. I'm looking for about 2-4 inches lift. any suggestions on leaf springs, and shocks. I am not going to do any racing, I just like the look. Any suggestion for the front also.

here's a selection of springs for you to look at

[92 Sunbird LE]

Any 68 -80 Nova part is the same, your rears come in 3 different leaf packs (1,3,5)

Any 68-80 Nova/Camaro/ Firebird coil in the front will work, Bigblock cars would be the stiffest- tallest , 4 and 6 would be the shortest-weakest.

Any A/C equipped front coil spring would be stiffer than the Non A/C spring.

Shop for coils on AutoZone or Moog websites to compare spring rates and heights compared to your stock coils. There are more options using Nova or Camaro/ Firebird cars due to more engine choices in these cars.

Aftermarket would have lower and stiffer handling coils also.

I have air shocks in the rear of my 74 and I have no problems with sag
