my 2 door hardtop swinger slightly sags in the rear and to the left about 1/4 inch. i am awear of all the spring options out there. has anyone used the monoe # 58496 . its a coil over shock "booster" . im just looking to level out the rear sag. basicaly 1 inch on the right and 1.25 inch on the left. im wondering if these coil over shocks will do the trick>?

any input ?

Bad solution. Top shock mount isn't designed to be a support for the vehicle. The stress can cause the top shock mount to fail.

It also doesn't do much for handling, either.

I was very pleased with the hi-lift springs I got from JC Whitney, they had a "free shipping" offer which made them very attractive in price.

Do it right and be happy the first time around!

i realize top shock mount isnt designed to carry ALOT of load. again my original leafs are not that that bad, just sag about 1 inch on each side. Thus i cant emagine these shocks ripping through the body. no one rides in the back and i dont carry any weight in the trunk or tow, thus the coil over is just leveling out the a$$ end ??? iduno. new leaf and harware is 300 bucks for pair. new monroe coilover is 70 bucks for the pair

If you want helper springs get the leaf type. http://www.amazon.com/Superior-11-1020- ... B00029K022

20 years ago I used nearly identical springs on my '73 Duster to get the back end up where it belongs.

$84.13 per side. Plus the shackle hardware, which is likely suffering from worn bushings anyhow.

Free shipping through this Saturday.

Another solution (less expensive) is to bring your springs to a spring shop to have them re-arched. I did that on my 74 Valiant, and they held the new arch for several years.

I think the decision rests on what you intend to do with the car. Obviously the springs are spent. If the car is a keeper, then save up and replace the springs. If it's something you're going to get rid of in a couple of years, then any of the other solutions will do fine.
