    Im curious if there is any leaf springs that will lower my II down a bit. What I'm trying to do is get it on airbags so i can lift it back to stock height but lower as close to the ground as possible without doing a 4-link... just keeping the leaf spring setup and adding bags.

    Reson being is I'm making a roadster and the doors are gonna be molded to the body so getting it on the ground will make it easier to climb in, so we're talking some real low leafs or any other setup, I'd love to hear ideas on how to get it to lay low for exit and entry, but not have it too low when driving. Thanks for the help.

    On my Ghia convertible, I simply redrilled the new holes on the rear shackles approx. 1 inch above the stock holes where the leaf springs mount to them. I haven't noticed any difference in ride harshness as a result.

    I bought rear leaf springs from Racer Walsh that lower the rear at least 1"...more when combined with the aluminum blocks that eliminate the rubber isolators.

    I believe the blocks are 1" drop, possibly 1.5".
