I am new to the club, just purchased a 1964 Series IV Alpine with a 2.8L engine with a narrowed Ford rear end.
So I looked through a lot of the threads talking about the rear shock absorbers and how they will not raise the ride height.
The rear of mine sits that my hand is really tight sliding "upwards" in between the rear fender and the tire.
The rear also bottoms out hard when driving.
I thought I might need new shocks, but now should I be looking at the rear leaf springs?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks
