the problem is not the type of spring. the problem, whichever way you go, is the tires will still sit up inside the fender. I shortened the 3" blocks to 1.5" on my '60 for that exact reason. I had to jack the wheels up, disconnect the shock to let rear end down enough to removed the wheel. pain in the ***!
