71 to 73 lowering blocks

[72cj rag]

Anyone tried lowering blocks on the rear.I saw an article in mm magazine .They used them. My car sits a little high in the rear on new springs.and the car rides like a stage coach.Very bouncy. Tried 2 different shocks w/ same result. Thanks Ron

I used a set of lowering blocks on the back of my 72Q code conv. They worked great.

Thanks.Where did you get them? I don't see them for 71 to 3 listed in the catalog.

Glazier Nolan lists them, but around here you can get them at Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc.

If it sits high and rides rough it sounds like you need different springs. Lowering blocks are not the best way to get the proper ride height.

I agree that it sounds as if you should try new/different springs. Lowering blocks will not improve the ride.

I think the mideye leaf springs will lower the car an inch or so and improve the ride slightly.

If you have the time, you can work with those springs to get the ride height and spring rate you want. I rebuild leaf srings a lot. You can raise, lower, soften, stiffen them up any way you want. All it takes is two sets of springs, a cut off wheel and time. I agree, lowering blocks are not the best way to go.

I get used springs to work with out of the dumpster at the restoration shops

lowering blocks! Same ride, even less stability!

Thats unusual, most 71-73 machs ride high in the front..I would check the rear springs, you might have gotten the wrong ones
