Re: [AMC-list] Car sitting VERY low to the ground

Shocks do not hold a car up off the ground. Assuming that the tires 
aren't flat, springs would be my guess.

> I have 1964 Rambler Classic that has been sitting for a little over 3 years. I was unable to work on on it for a while. Now I'm back on it and I've had it running and have a couple more things to do and it'll be ready. One thing I have noticed, however, is that it is sitting VERY LOW to the ground now. I had noticed it but thought it could be my imagination, until a buddy of mine who helped me work on it a few years ago came over and commented on how low it was to the ground and that he didn't remember it being so low.
