I'd like to raise the back of my cuda a little to give it a little more aggressive look vs the stock setup/suspension. What's a good, permanent way to raise the rear end properly?

I just took in a very low mileage set of OEM Mopar superstock springs in trade, id sell for $175 + shipping
They would raise the rear of your car by around 2"

New springs, Or re-arching your old one's.  :alan2cents:

Who makes the best springs that will raise that rear some?

I had my originals re-arched to what I thought would be good. It wasn't as much as I wanted so I took them back and the spring shop added a little more, no extra charge. Maybe I got lucky. It was a little extra hassle but now I love it.

You can replace the front spring hangers with a 2 hole setup.

Cheap and easy to install.

Bottom hole is stock height.

Top hole raises the rear about 1"

I might be wrong, but doesn't the top hole lower the car since its farther up ?

I second going to adjustable front hangers. Latest front spring hangers are 2-hole but you may be able to find 3- or 4-hole versions. Moving the front spring eye up lowers the car. Moving it down, raises the car.
I have had 4-hole hangers with factory Trans Am leaf springs on my Cuda since 1984.

Who sells 4 hole hangers that will lift car ? 2 hole is either stock or lower.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought SS springs were shorter eye to eye and needed different hangers as well? Or some other modification?  :dunno:

Yes, that's correct dodj ... slightly longer hangers . . . nothing more.
Those brackets come with my springs, as can be seen in the photo I had posted earlier in this thread.
