Front coil springs too low

I put a square body front crossmember under my 65 and I can't remember if I used the original 65 coils or the ones I got with the square body front crossmember I bought from a guy. Maybe it had drop coils in it and he didn't tell me, who knows. The other day was a momentous occasion when we dropped the v8 and auto trans into the truck. I should add it has no hood on and no front bumper on yet. First thing I thought was geez it looks pretty low. I can't even get my low profile floor jack under the crossmember. Upon closer inspection I see the suspension is sitting down just touching the snubbers. So my plan is new coil springs from a square body. I see I have the option of regular or hd for a/c trucks. The specs for each show the same uncompressed and compressed height but the hd springs have a heavier rating and thicker diameter rod. I'll add my sbc v8 has iron block and aluminum heads and no a/c. What have others used??
