J.C. Whitneys has a nova 3 spring unit that can be used to replace the monoleaf and shouldnt raise the car much at all!!
i just did this swap on my 68 and added adjustable shackles and shock extentions as i wanted it to sit a lil high in the rear. the springs are like 125 each i think.
the part number is 21-245 i believe!!

i also used traction bars for lower spring plates as they are a lil beefier than the stock plates!!



this was with stock lower plate

 

Hey burnt, where you been hidin?
How do you like the ride comfort and handling of those 3 leaf springs?
I have heavy duty 5 leafs on mine, and my suspension barely deflects an inch (I know by the fender clearance I have).
Plus it rides like a truck. I've been considering removing a leaf, and going with longer shackles to soften up the ride.

 

Thanks everyone, this is the information I been looking for.

Hey Burnt your car is sitting up like I want to keep mine, I have asked around about the J.C. Whitneys springs as I had read an OLD thread on them but could not find it again...

what kind of traction bars you have? you have a pic?

Thanks.

 

will get pics for you later, the traction bars are the regular oldschool type with the rubber snub at the front, square tube type.

Camaro69 it is a definet improvement over the worn out monos that were on it and it rides nice and smooth not truckish!!
I think the previous owner of mine installed bb springs in the front as it sits up pretty high so i want the rear to at least match or be level to it, and needed the clearance for the sidepipes as well!!!

 

Yeah, you almost have the 4x4 look!

 

I am goin for that day-2 70`s look anyway it is what i would have had in H.S. even picked up some old ansens im gonna put on it eventually!!!

 

Good to see ya burnt and your ride looks really nice! I'm loving the side pipes!
