Lifting the rear


All,
I'm new to the group and joined because I think I'm going to need some guidance from time to time on a new project car that my daughter and I inherited. It's a 67 Plymouth Belvedere II.
My dad passed away in March and left this car to my daughter on his death bed. I'm a bit car savvy but far from a real mechanic.
Because it needed new tires, we went ahead and put the tires and rims we wanted on the car.
The problem is when the car is fully loaded the tires hit the top of the rear wheel wells.
I've been looking for higher arch leaf springs and shackles but can't clearly find a setup that is going to give me the 2 inches of rear lift I think that it needs. Also want to give it a old school stance as well.
Hopefully in the future I can contribute to the forum as I learn by going through this car.

Thoughts?
Thanks

Check with your local Diesel Truck Spring Shop and see if they can repair and add a couple leafs to your spring pack. That's the easiest way to handle it. Just my 2 cents
I use these guy's in my area >>>>>>> http://www.atlassuspension.com/
