I got mine from here. I ordered plus 1 1/2" over stock. They have all the hardware needed too.

Or,,, in an effort to save a few bucks, you can do an add a leaf. Summit has an add on that comes with new centerbolts... Some here have gone that route as well.

I'm looking to do the same with my 73 Barracuda, and right now it looks like I'll either go with Mopar Competition SS leaf springs to gain approx. 1" or go with the ESPO springs for either a 1" or 1.5" lift. I haven't checked the cost of the ESPO springs but I beieve they will be more expensive than the Mopars at $218 pair (Summit Racing price) even though the SS also require $60 front hangers. The reason I'm leaning to the ESPO springs is that they will allow me to use a spring relocator kit to move the springs in if I decide to later. I'll be interested to see if you choose before I do how happy you are with your choice.
Later, Jim
