Default 70's look on an 81 Camaro.

Hi, I am new to the forums and am wondering if anyone has suggestions on the best way to raise the rear of my '81 Camaro Z28 with leaf springs a couple inches to get the 70s look? Currently the car is all stock.
Thanks

air shocks would be cool ,then you can put it where you want it,an you gave me an idea to for mine like $75.00 for a set ,I now have true duals that are a bit low ,I am thinking air shocks may bring them up some ,then think about big tires ,now I have low profile tire I think the combo could help ,? you got 305 in that or 350 ,I had 1982 trans am with a 305 an that car was fast I loved it looking back one thing I did not like was the healights of them an the firbirds ,the 81 is one of my dream cars ,does it have the big z28 badges on the side of the car ,I thought about that look on my 95 one day red on black

I agree. If you're just wanting a couple inches, not much cheaper way, than going with air shocks.

i have 5 inch rear lift prings and i run an l60-14 drag tire on the rear i love the stance of my car (a little rougher ride) but i get the raked look i love on these cars
1967 - 1981 Camaro / Firebird / Nova Leaf Spring with 2-1/2" lift (Replaces multi leaf springs) these are 3.5 inch lift and then if you want to go taller add in or build a shackle lift similar to
I cant get any good pictures of my car to load right now but i like the stance
