Yea they might have done that as well but the tires on the back of the car arent much bigger than the front ones, there is definatly enough room for the tire in the rear so i dont know, the guy seemed unsure of what he was doing. But I got some stock springs on the way, I am gonna install them and see how they look and ride.
People who go to changing things without knowing what they are doing are usually dangerous.

So I got the springs delivered a couple days ago and I installed them today. It only took about 30 minutes to swap out the springs, it was a fairly easy job. And it sits about exactly where I wanted it. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow. And it rides 100 times better down the road, it rides somewhat like a Cadillac lol. Thanks for everyone's input and feedback about this problem.
If you think that was bad, I was given a 76 nova hatchback from a guy who owed me money. It was a rear leaf car, and those cars really had bad sag in the rear springs. The guy took 2&1/2 ton truck springs and put in the rear of the nova! He did take a couple of leaves out but not many. Then to top it all off, they did not put any shocks on it! It was done so bad that, after taking the car out and rodding the heck out of it just to see if I got taken, I stopped and the axle had shifted so much that the driveshaft came out of the transmission! I had to get a used rear end to repair it and put regular springs back in the car. I did have fun bouncing the car around for a night.
IF ONE DID WANT TO LIFT A THIRD GEN FRONT AND REAR IS THERE AFTERMARKET PARTS THAT CAN BE INSTALLED THAT WOULD KEEP THE HANDELING PROPER I WOULD LIKE TO BE THAT ONE WANT TO BE DIFFERENT ALSO GIVE ME MORE GROUND CLEARANCE FOR 3 INCH SIDE PIPES OR SHOULD I FORGET THE LIFTING IDEA (safety first) CAN YOU HELP? THANKS SKETTER
I say forget the lifting idea. Also, a little punctuation and no caps lock goes a long ways for getting an appropriate response!
I hope you have a huge motor in that thing to even consider 3" side pipes.
