Pic of ESPO 1.5" over + 275 rear tires?

By chance are there any more photos of this setup?  I'm considering the same set of springs, either 1" or 1.5" over.

Thanks MJS73!

How long have you had them installed?  Have they settled any since installation?

[MJS73]

They have been on the car since late March/early April.  Yes, they've settled slightly (maybe 1/8").  I put KYB shocks on at the same time.  The car does have a nice rake to it now.

Thanks again MJS73.

I'm still on the fence between 1.0" and 1.5".  I need to make a decision soon.

A couple questions from a rookie. Is rake the height difference between front and back? Also, why not get the old springs re-arched? It would be a lot cheaper as long as the old ones didn't have any broken leafs.

1) Rake is the difference between front and back, correct.

2) For me, the choice between new and re-arched was about how I drive the car, which is to say, like I stole it. 40 year old parts have been through all sorts of things that might induce micro-cracks over the years.

Thanks HK. On the new vs old, I wondered if that was the thinking.

Looks Good!
What size are your front tires?

Installed my ESPO 1.5" over stock rear leafs and stock shackles. Here is the before picture with stock leafs and some long extended shackles that were removed:



New:


The front torsion bars were cranked down 1 turn, I feel like the car rides a lot better and looks a lot meaner

Also, why not get the old springs re-arched? It would be a lot cheaper as long as the old ones didn't have any broken leafs.

Depends on where you are. Local spring shops around here want $250+ to reach and add a leaf. For that price, I'd just as soon buy new.
