Christian, I tried the remove the front torsion leaves and turn them around to increase ground clearance procedure on my high milage '67. I noticed no change at all in the front end sag. I ended up buying some coilspring over shocks from Barney in Tucson. They increased the ground clearance in the front by over an inch. This is with the coil over shock set at its lowest adjustment notch. I would still prefer to have new torsion leaves over these "shocks". Gary Gibson
