66 f85 front spring options

I did some suspension work on my car and kept the stock 6 cylinder springs, figured they'd stiffen up after cutting, but there to soft still. I didn't measure how much I lowered it but it's about 3" maybe more cause it's to low, tires hit the top of my fenders every now and then. Goal is to raise it up about an inch and stiffen it some. Looking for ideas from people who have used after market springs before, I was thinking 2" drop small block spring but idk. Car has a 350 in it

Has no one used aftermarket springs that they'd recommend?

i found numerous springs but none say what the spring rate is, they dont even say something as generic as big block or small block. definitely want something stiffer but i dont want something intended for an all iron bbc. just looking for some insight.

If you look on the rockauto or opgi site it will give you the stock moog spring number. Then go here and cross reference the number you found and the other springs with the same ends.
