Default Front coil spring replacement

For my '55. I want to get the front end up about two inches higher than stock and was wondering if anyone made longer springs? (I am prepared to get stock replacement coils and put in spacers if 'lift' springs aren't available.) Thanks in advance!

Moroso used to make some big ones. Not sure if they still do or not.

There is a suspension place in NC that I ordered springs for our 68 Camaro from. I can't think of the name right now. They advertise in all of the popular magazines, Performance Suspension maybe? I got a pair 1" overstock. Pretty sure they listed springs for different models. If you do a search there is a shop in NJ with a similar name, definitely not that one.

Thanks guys, I found 2-inch lift "heavy duty" 55-57 springs on another site. Somebody also recommended '58 Impala 348 coils and then '63 wagon coils were also mentioned. Problem solved!
