Rear Springs for 65 Belvedere

[64plybelvwgn]

Recently purchased a 65 Belvedere with the correct ( for me ) , slightly high rear end " attitude". However I do not like the extended shackles as used by the previous owner. I want to go back to stock shackles .

Short of having a spring shop re-arch or make me a pair of new springs, are there any Mopar springs ( example XHD or Super Stock ) that will give me the rear end attitude / altitude I'm looking for ?

I'm running 275/60/15's on 8" rims with no clearance issues.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

I'm still trying to determine what it is... or what it was ? I can trace it back to SC in the early 2000's. Now has 440, but likely had 383 with 4spd. Clutch pedal still under dash. All gauges and lights work. Now a 727 with what appears to be a shift kit with too much pressure for the street. Shifted by B&M Quicksilver with std pattern. Rear is '489 with SureGrip, QA-1 adjustable shocks. 440 GTX-type exhaust manifolds with 3" pipes to rear bumper. Also has frame connectors. I can't find match with Belvedere and bucket seats, but that could be a change over by a previous owner. Has BeKool radiator with electric fan. Moroso trans cooler. Ignition is Mallory of another era. Will likely changeover to MSD or Pertronix as I keep sorting it out. Body/paint are a bit rough, about a 5...but good enough for cruise night. Claimed to have a Mopar "Purple" 484 cam, but again, need to do more taking apart and digging. That's about it.
I used to be on the site with my 64 Belvedere wagon, but I had a stroke and sold everything. My kids encouraged me to "stop hanging around"...and so now have the '65.

Real nice! I need to sell both my A Bodies and get a nice early B.

I am a fan of the cal-trak system.You can get 1 inch above stock with some adjustability.

Those seats and console look like '67 or so pieces.

I have SS springs on my 65. I have also used EPSO (springsnthings). They can do overarches upon request.
