			 My air shocks are leaking and causing my 235/60r15 on 15x8s to rub the inside of the wheel well lip in my 68 coupe.  I dont want this to happen again so I am buying new leafs and shocks.  The problem is, I'm afraid that the stock ride height springs will rub too.  Where can I get special springs for the car to make it clear the tires?  Also, how can I measure to find out what rate leafs I will need?  Thanks always, any help is appreciated.

			 You can get new stock springs and use 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	longer spring shackles to raise the body of your car. Most replacement shackles have several holes to accomodate different heights. Good luck. Lou  |
