1967 Dodge Coronet R/T factory rear ride height

[Dave6T4]

Hello Coronet owners,

Just about complete restoring a 67 R/T, and looking to update suspension.

I plan on 1.03 torsion bars in the front and replace the tired leaf springs with XHD/hemi w/ Bilstein shocks all around.
The rear springs are pretty worn, and I'm not sure what the factory ride height looks like with new springs.
I would like the rear just high enough to expose the 15" Magnum wheels, but not excessively high (I used a jack in the rear to bring the height where I would like it).
I'm either going to use ESPO or Eaton.

Anyone have insite and suggestions on stock spring height vs plus 1 to get the height I desire?

Thanks

I like picture # 1 best. From a '67 R/T owner.

Yes...photo 1 is what I'm shooting for. Looks like I'll go with stock plus 1.
Any suggestions on the Bilstein shock p/n for the 1.03 TB & XHD leafs, that has the correct extension length for front and rear?

I know this isn't a 67 but has the same suspension. This is stock ride height. Basically stock would be sitting level front to back.
