How long does re-arching last? Anyone know?I had my 3800 lb. S/S springs re-arched because they had sagged over the years. They raised my car up 2" . Measurement from ground to top of arch was 12 1/2" after re-arch. This for my 1967 R/T.
It was repainted in its original color 881 when it was restoredLike the metallic too. Is that original 881 or a repaint? Looks nice.
I also had the second leaf replaced with a longer one that spanned from the front eyelet to the rear one. This is where my springs were sagging, with the unsupported ends doubling back. I turn 78 in a couple of weeks, so I only need them to last another 20 years. LOL.How long does re-arching last? Anyone know?
Awesome Sir thanks for sahring.
I got the air shocks working and pumped the rear up. I think a tad too high. Took this pic at the grocery store last night.
Thoughts?

Looks good. Maybe a tad too high for stock wheels but would be the perfect stance with cragars.
Kind of looks like you’re going downhill to save gas. I think about an inch higher than the front bumper would look nice.I got the air shocks working and pumped the rear up. I think a tad too high. Took this pic at the grocery store last night.

Looks good to me. I have my '67 R/T sitting about the same way. I had my rear springs reworked to lift sagging rear end about 2". Measures from ground to rear wheel well 22"; ground to front 27".I got the air shocks working and pumped the rear up. I think a tad too high. Took this pic at the grocery store last night.

Same slope.Just measured mine:
Front: 26 3/8"
Rear: 21 1/4"
I have smaller diameter 14" stock rims and tires to fill up wheel well. So I like it a little lower in front to fill the space. And like was mentioned before the rake looks better with day-2/aftermarket rims like on your R/T.
15" rims and tires would add 1/2" to those measurements, so close to mine.Just measured mine:
