Tall front coils for a '55?

I want to get the front end of my '55 Chevy up about two inches using the stock A-frame setup. Does anybody make tall coils or should I use new stock coils and add doughnut spacers? Thanks in advance.

 

I think what you are lookng for are 63 fullsize wagon coils for a 409 car

 

Thanks mr57. Have you ever put '63 wagon coils in a tri-five? I see you have tri-five experience.

 

Those will be too tall and slam the upper control arm onto the frame, if you install ball joint spacers they will work but it will raise you 5 inches not 2.

ecklers make big block coil for tri-fives.. they are suppose to put a tri-five back up to stock height when you install a big block... i used them and ball joint spacers to get a little height... but looking back i would have used a set of hi-lift/or drag springs with the spacers to actually get weight transfer. because the heavy coils just lifted the front and they had no travel... i'd do 90/10 shocks w/ drag coils, and 4 leaf springs in back w/ a set of 50/50 shocks... and traction bars.

 

JC Whitney sells hi-lift springs (front and rear) for tri-5's
