what kind of car are you trying to do this to?

I doubt if just springs are going to do it for you. Even if you did, the front end geometry would be all out of whack if you raised it that much with the stock suspension. Most gassers go to a solid front axle.

Depending on the era, they also used to use taller springs and ball joint spacers.

on this build the the front axel was moved forward 4in and lifted another 4 and mono leafed the rear. All the stock front parts were used.

The '53 Plymouth had spindles with kingpins, not ball joints - so spacers are not an option. If you really want a true gasser look you will need to go to a solid axle setup. But remember, real gassers were rarely as high as they are interpreted today. That is more of a "street freak" style and not correct for the real race cars of the day. The gasser madness site should hopefully steer you in the right direction...

Is this going to be a street car? Remember most of the nose high gassers were strip cars and even though a lot of people will argue, they really weren't generally well suited for street driving. I remember the era of ball joint spacers (horseshoes) and remember a lot of people running them on the street. I also remember the crazy extreme camber change those cars would do when cornering. Extreme anything just for looks that compromises safety doesn't make good sense to me.
