Just ordered new HD leafs from Springs & Things 1" over stock height, but its a ballpark guess on my part as to achieving the right ride height. Its got the orig leafs with air shocks from the prev owner & I put 255/60x15's on 8"cragars on the back. I want to remove the air shocks & not have the tires rub. I like the way it sits now & don't want it to look "jacked up" in back, so do you think 1" will be ok or would stock height springs be best? Also, will the springs settle? Any pics of yours would be helpful.

I have a 65 convertible. I used another vendors plus 2 inch springs with the adjustible front hangers. they did sit ok for a couple of years then sagged a bit so I just recently put them on the higher holes on the hangers.
I too have 255 60's all the way around. Because of that I had to bring up the front a bit to stop the fronts from rubbing when in a turn. so my ride height is going to be a little different. Thanks for the info & do you have any pics you can post?
