leaf springs!

I have a 69 SWB I was looking for 5" or 6" drop leaf springs. Do they make them? I currently have 4" drop with shackles but want more without rermoving any leaves. Any Ideas?

Re: leaf springs!

Put the stock shackles back on and do an axle flip kit. 5.5-6" easy as pie...

Best way to go... And it maintains all the factory suspension except the axle rides on top of the leafs.
