Two of them still had the tags on them when they came in as well as original assembly line shocks but sit high. I have tried several different Moog springs and am now onto trying Eaton springs. We have also done all the math with the vendors to try and resolve it and have a TON of money in both labor and spring cost and have not been able to get them to sit right. Been doing this for 40 plus years and these last 4 cars are killing me.

I am the opposite. I have a 70 Elky,454 factory air. When I bought it, it sat way to low. Ordered Elgin springs, supposed for my application, barely raised it an 1 1/2. It is still to low for my taste, I like the front end to sit higher. Not a gasser look, but a little higher than the norm.
What are the springs and #'s you used to get the higher look?
First pic is with springs when I got it, second after Elgin installed. Has repro 15" wheels. It is now 27" from the ground to the wheel well lip.
