How do I lower the rear?

I recently picked up some springs that will stiffen up the front a bit and lower it about 1". Now I need to match the drop in the rear, but can't find lowering blocks for BE's. Is there such a thing, or will I have to change to different leafs, such as the "rally" spec ones from Moss. And speaking of those, does anyone have experience with them?
 
wedges under the spring to change the angle that they come out of the box
 
And these wedges are found where?
 
They have to be made by a machine shop.
 
If y'all was in New Joisey, I'd give you Guido's phone number.....he can stick any weight dead body in the boot for you to get the ride height where you want it.
 
Was there not a post with a pic of the wedges last week?
 
The HD springs from Moss will make the back of your BE look like a 70s dragster, way too high. Don't ask me how I know, but I do have a set in my parts bin. I believe the easy way is to take out 2 or 3 leaves out of the spring set, and then put them on the bottom. Do a search to find out which ones, as it has been discussed before. I tried to do this with the Moss HD springs, but the rear was still too high. I went back to the "old" original springs, that were "just" right. Picture below is with the Moss HD springs.
