'66 running low in the rear - solutions?

My F-85 is a butt dragger.....looking to raise it up.

The options I've looked @ so far include 1" rear drop springs (would actually raise the rear up as I think it's sagged about 3-4" from stock) & the rear air bag inserts.

I'm not looking for a huge '60's rake - just would like the rear to be level or a little higher than the front.

Opinions welcomed.

BTW, I'm running 15x7 steels wheels w/ 236/60 all around & the rears are tucked.

Try stock replacement springs to bring it back to stock ride height. Rock Auto has them for $54.99 a pair.

I put station wagon springs in mine with regular gas charged shocks! You can go with the stock spings and a spacer if needed!
