How many leafs are in your 63's? Cause I know there are 3 and 4 leaf setups. Just might need an add a leaf.

You might have to mix and match to get the right height you want.

Lower the front. That's way to tall for a first gen.

Take a leaf or two out of the front, or better yet replace a couple arched leaves with a couple flatter stock front leaves so you don't lose too much spring rate... Then add a couple-three leaves from an early shorter chevy pack to the rear. That should put it right.

Did you just put stock rears up front? You need to mix and match leaves to get it to settle down. I actually run a 2" block uder my 3 leaf 63s. I even cut the overload spring flush with the blocks for more up travel.
