    Whats the best way to increase rear clearance?

    My 68 Coronet has a factory 4-leaf rear suspension and 14" wheels. I'm poised to do a rebuild of the rear suspension this Fall, and I want to allow for a change to 15" wheels. That being said, what's the best way to raise the stance just a bit to allow for the bigger wheels, and a slightly...
