    I would like some other cars measurements of their 70-72 converts.
    I beleive that my 72 Skylark convertible is sitting low in the rear.
    I measured from the ground to the bottom of the rubber that goes around the rear tail light lens. Mine reads 22 1/4"'.
    Is this about right?
    I would like to have it sit about 3" higher to show off my new 295x50 meats!
    Would coil over shocks help?
    Thanks

    shocks

    Yes tht's what I was thinking, my tires don't rub at all so I won't have to put so much air in them that my ride suffers. It looks like I would need 3" lift to make it look the way I want it to.
    Do you have any suggestions on a brand?

    I would suggest new springs for a better ride,and also air bags if you go to the track and run it now and then. :beer
