I just put a 9 inch F$%# in my 56 with Ecklers 2 inch drop springs. The car sits just a little bit low now. Anyone have a good and easy way to raise the back end up a little bit. Thanks for the help.
P.S. The 9 inch works great! Now I can beat the crap out of it Hee Hee

You know, my stock-height, 4-leaf Posies springs let the car a sit a bit lower than stock. Talked to Posies about adding a 5th leaf, but they said it would make the springs stiffer but not change ride height.
Using a longer shackle on the back would help a little, but it would probably take 1" back there to raise the car 1/2". Any more than 1" on the shackle would require me to get a mullet haircut and wear an AC/DC t-shirt.
