I have a 1968 mustang that has slighlty bigger tires than stock. How do I avoid the occasional tire rub that happens when I hit a bump in the road. For some reason it only happens on the right side. Do I replace the springs or shocks.

Would I go to a stronger spring. Right now it looks like it has 5 leafs. Can someone point me in the right direction on where to purchase new leaf springs.

My suggestion would be is to go to a spring shop and they can add a leaf or rebend them, check that out before replacing them.

If it's only the rear springs that meed help, you can also put in a set of air shocks, or load levelers.
