Final look for the saggin' waggin' (bad rear sag in the back):
Keep in mind blocks in the front to raise, or lower a vehicle are usually illegal in many areas- but I've never heard of anyone getting busted for it.
I also have used custom springs on the Panel Delivery I had:
The ride on lowered rigs is not as cushy as stock height.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I did a spring under in the back, so the springs sat under the rear axle.81waggy wrote: I like the panel wagon stance. Where did you get the springs made?
I have a TBI 350 & 4l60e so I've got plenty of clearance. What do you mean 4.5" out? What did they charge you for that?66stepside wrote:Thanks, I appreciate that.

For the front, I took both spring packs to Pohle Spring Works here in Spokane and asked for new main leafs with 4.5" out. So they bent up new mains and reused the rest of the old springs, new bushings and repacked everything up.
After I did the install, I ended up with plenty of clearance between the bump stops, and the oil pan- the engine was a Chevy 350, though, so I can't tell you how much clearance you'll get with the AMC V8 you have. Overall, I was happy with the lowering.
I relocated the rear springs under the rear axle and took roughly 4.5" off the height in the back. A real saggin' waggin'.81waggy wrote:I have a TBI 350 & 4l60e so I've got plenty of clearance.

It doesn't look like I'm hitting the bump stops, I don't see any marks from contact. I replaced the shocks today with new Monroes. Rides a lot better over speed bumps. not perfect, but a lot better.
