Rachero/Wagon leaf springs bolted onto 63" Hardtop

Post by Moses »

The length of 6 leaf springs for the Rachero/Wagon seem to match the standard length for the 63 hard top.

I'm thinking of putting the 6 leaf heavy duty set in place of the standard 3 leaf set for extra stiffness and a little lift in the rear to give the car some rake and help with rear tire clearance.

Has anyone done this, or have any input on how this might affect the driveability? Any input on fitment issues?

No fitment issues, it does make the rear higher and noticeably stiffer, i would suggest a good set of shocks to go with them, other than that your good to go
