Hey all - For years I have been running a one inch aluminum spacer between
the frame and rear spring mount on my '66. It leveled the Roadster out
great. Reversing the shackle makes the rear sit too high - not into the
"cat in heat" look.

Lou,
Which Z wheels are you using? The 14x6 wheels should fit even if the rear is
sagging all the way to the stops. This is based on a tire size of 195/60. It
is very tight, but it should fit if the body is on the frame straight.
