Adjust the bolts at the outer end of the spring, so that less treads shows. If you cant lower it enough that way. You can change the stock 8"bolt, to a 10"bolt.
I can recomend van-steel for parts like that.

You can change it by adjusting the spring bolts. These are the bolts at the end of the spring conecting to the control arms. Tighten them to raise r.h. loosen or use longer bolts to lower r.h. This changes suspension geometry so, for one, you have to have the car alined after, and secondly, don't go too far because any change also effects the various linkage geometry, meaning even after an alinement(which only effects static wheel position) the suspension's geometry is now changed and compromised, so weird things can happen while actually driving.

My guess is that your going to need 8" bolts. The stock 6" bolts only have a little bit of threads on the bottom of the bolts.

Be cautious of some cheaper after-market long bolts for lowering the rear.
A couple of club members here in Oz had issues with the bolts shearing due to inferior quality. In both cases, luckily they were not travelling fast and only gouged the bitumen as they pulled to the side of the road. At higher speed, could have completely lost control.
