Post Is my rear end hanging low?

I know these cars are supposed to be riding low, but I wonder if maybe my back end isn't scraping the ground more often than it should.
Can anybody tell me on my '64 Convertible, what is the distance from say the center of the rear wheel hub to the top of the fender. Or maybe you could measure from the bottom of the rear bumper to the ground.
I'm wondering if I need have my leaf springs resprung, or would new shocks take car of it.
Thanks for any advice.
Bob

You could bolt on a helper leaf *Napa Auto Parts) but air shocks are available and would surely solve your problem.
