Default DSE 3" Drop leaf measurements on a 68 Camaro
I am going to be replacing my old leafsprings and I am wondering if someone can give me the final ride height on the DSE 3" drop leafs. I would love to have a measurement from the center of the axle to the top of the wheelwell lip. I am sitting at 13.5 inches now and would like to raise the car up to 14.5 or 15".
Thanks!!!!

Its a street car, not touring whatsoever......yet. The springs on it now I purchased from a local spring shop and had them de-arched years ago. They have now settled down even further. I have a little baby girl that I hope to cruise around in the back in her car seat along with mommy. The tires are very close to rubbing with just me in it and I need to get it up further and update the shocks as well.
Here are some pictures

Currently has a 28x9 slick on it.
