68 Fury III Questions

First of all, Hello

I picked up a 68 Fury III with 32k original miles a month ago. There were a few rust spots that I grinded down, treated and POR15'd. I just got done doing a fresh satin black paint job on the car.

Now on to the real question. I'm looking to lower the rear of the car some. What are you all doing to lower it? Blocks? I tried searching the internet for anything and the only thing I found were the universal lowering blocks on summit.

Thanks for any help!

I let a little air out of the air shocks. Lol. Most of us (me anyway) like to keep em the same height or just raise them some. Thats why I put air shocks on my 69 Roadrunner. Maybe take a leaf out of the leaf springs, or put weaker springs in it might work. Good luck.

If you want to lower the rear.... Fill it full of gasoline and it will drop a couple inches at the bumper!!

Lowering blocks are the way to go. I've done this and it works well. If you buy 'lowering blocks', make sure that you buy new U-bolts to allow for the blocks. The actual work is very straight forward.
