1 inch lift on the back

[jsand]

Whats the easiest way to get a 1 inch lift on the back suspension? Raising the car 1 inch in the back shows the tire a bit better and gives it a slight rake look.

+1 ride height springs from ESPO or Eaton Detroit Spring

I have added Pro-Comp 13120 leafs to the rear leaf springs in place of mid-length leaf on two cars with good success. Both lifted about one inch. It could vary depending on the current spring condition.

My original T/A springs had lost a bit, so I added the Pro-Comp leaves to restore it's rear height. Handling seems the same. Adding them for the mid-length spring, I was able to keep the lowest leaf with the factory part numbers.

My GTX was sitting at factory height plus a little with new springs from General Spring. Those were specified as +1" already, but I wanted a little more rake and height to better show the wheels in its short fender openings:

I went the opposite. -1" springs and I also added a 1" lowering block welded 100% around. With 30" tall tires I didn't want the jacked up look.

You have a close up pic of the rear window in the TA?
It seems to be tucked down? I don't see the chrome trim?
