ok as some of u know im building a wheelin truck and the only problem in suspension ive ran into is the rear.. i have no clue what i should do to get it to sit level..

as of right now i can see (even with stacked leafs) the rear end will sit lower than the front

so what im asking is, does anyone know what would be the easiest (without using blocks) to lift the rear end up more? or if theres a vehicle that has pretty bowed leafs?

cause what im aiming for is i would like to be able for the rear to flex, seeing as im not gonna be hauling anything with this thing, so im not gonna stack leafs.. i was thinkin of building my own drop shackle but i dont know how well that will work with flex

any input on this would help alot.

thanks

i wouldn't build the shackles until you have the springs.

Chevy 63" springs seem to be pretty popular.
