Hotchkis leaf springs sagg brand-new

So it was too close to run a stock snubber plate even before you ran the Hothchkis Springs?

Is the rear at the height you want? Is the rear wheel tucked into the rear wheel well like you want? That will determine how close the rear end and driveshaft are to the floor pan of your car no matter what rear suspension you use (leaf, 3 link, 4 link angled, etc)

What size rear tires are you using?

Before was ~2yrs ago in another A-body but yes, i could fit the stock snubber on with stock slant 6 springs...with that being said i have bent/broken several pinion snubbers when the car would squat down and accelerate before I sufficiently reinforcing a snubber to work.
My previous springs were Mopar Performance springs, they were stiff enough and the car washigh enough up that i had no issues with the snubber taking excessive forces.

The rear height is way too low, id like it to be up ~2" more which is what i think it would be if the springs were the proper rate. Im running 275/40/17's
