I have a 67 Sedan. The Rear end looks to me like it should be higher. How do I raise it? Anyone have layman instructions on how to do this.

All help appreciated. Thanks

maybe you lowered it, and you forgot?j/j. its prolly worn out torsion bars. you could either replace them or take the spring plate off and lower it 1 or 2 notches depending on how low it is. its just the opposite of lowering the back

(lower the spring plate= raising the car)

The complete article for resetting the ride height (rotating the torsion bars) is on my web site below.
