I got this brillant idea a couple years back that my windshield was too steep and needed to be tilted back, so, I cut a couple inches of an old set of rear springs and put them in. (under body stock)

Well it just killed my top end and mileage, so I put the stock springs back in.
Mileage and top end back to normal.

So I wonder if I raise the rear an inch what will it do?
