Help with rear spring selection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 65 chevy is in the shop and I'm going to lower it in the rear more but I don't know what size springs to get. I have a 1.5" block between the axle and trailing arm and I want the truck to sit about an inch off the bumpstop AFTER its cut in half. I don't want to do a c-notch because I don't have a good enough welder to weld the frame and I don't want a bolt on. Right now its sitting on the full bumpstops(uncut) and I would like it to sit that low. What springs get a stock suspended truck down that far?
