I would like to raise the rear of my 55, just a little. Does any one sell a longer spring shackle?
Thanks,

I believe I seen some at O'riely's. Most any parts store should carry them.

There was a time when longer shackles were a popular, and just about the only way, to raise the rear of a car. They left a lot to be desired when cornering however. The tri-five Chevrolets also required a different lift shackle than other cars; they had a "bend" or "angle" built into them to clear the rear hanger design. I'd avoid them and use a weld-in, bolt-in, rear shock mount coupled with coil wrapped overload shocks, or air shocks for a little more adjustability. But, it would be best to have your springs rebuilt/rearched, or replaced with new ones. Butch/56sedandelivery.
