Best options for lifting Skylark front end?
Hello everybody,
I've been lurking here for about a year now because I have been wanting to restore my first car, A 1972 Buick Skylark which I purchased new in March of "72". I babied the car for about 20 years and then I began to have electrical problems around 1993 which most mechanics were unable to solve without creating additional electrical problems. Because of the problems with the car during the year 1993 I was forced to purchase a new car for the wife and consequently I parked my baby for the past 11 years only taking it out for an occasional spin and sometimes a couple of years would lapse between drives.
Now I have a 17 year old son who has expressed interest in assuming ownership of the car and attempting to restore the car to as new condition as possible.
Now on to my first official question on this forum.....The front end suspension is sagging excessively and we would like to lift it at least a couple of inches or maybe even more so that we can achieve a traditional muscle car look. The rear end is no problem because I have already installed a pair of Gabriel Hijackers air shocks. Does anyone have any ideas on how to best lift the front end other than the obvious replacement of the springs which I will probably end up doing anyway?
Thanks, Robert
