How do I get the lift I need without shackles?

I bought the heavy duty leaf springs + 2" from ESPO a few years back and those didn't really give any lift at all. As you will see by my posted pictures, I had to install a BS rear shackle lift kit to get the clearance I need over my big rear wheels.

I want to keep the 70's look with lots of rake, cuz I'm a throwback and I like it. But I need to get rid of the stupid lift kit that flattens out the springs.

I've read a lot of posts about the SS springs but I don't like the fact that they bring the rear wheels in 1.5 inches toward the front. I'd prefer to keep the rear wheels centered in the wheel well. And besides, I don't race the car, it's for street use only.

Thanks for your advice!
