About 12 years ago, I had the leaf springs re-arced on my 62 Dodge 
wagon.
<http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-wrobel62.html>. I'd never 
heard of this,
but the guy at Chariot Springs in Santa Fe Springs So. Cal. said to 
bring my car on down.
And for $250.00 they R&R'd and re-arced my springs. I thought my 
springs were shot, but it raised
the rear 3", which made it look right, and it's been fine ever since, 
even with the heavy loads my
family likes pack into it on long trips!

Anyway, that's what I did , just thought I'd share
