Default 66gto front shocks

when I did my resto,I had 225.15 tires on the front. Had a small fender knick when I hit a bump so I went with 215.15's. and that eliminated the knick. Problem is I liked the stance with the 22's on. Check it out at freds gto.com.
I want to go back to the 225's so I need to raise the front a couple inches for clearance.
Has anyone got any suggestion's?
Thanks Guys
FRED

When I did the frame off on my 66 I installed front coil spring insulators (RP35) now called spring spacers? These insulators are 1/2" rubber Also used the front end suspention kit with polyurethane bushings, and a 1 1/4" stabilizer bar. This raised my front end a good 1 -2" for a real nasty look. The car rides stiff, but looks really good. I think if you just used the insulators (need to compress the spring as these are on top of the spring) you will get the look you are looking for.

Fred, don't know the manufacturer. You should contact PY for this info.
