To raise the rear up a bit more on my 73 Challenger, taking into account money and ease, do I:

A. Add leaf spring(s), if so where do I get.
B. Install coil over shocks.
C. Install all new leaf springs.
D. You have a better idea, please elaborate.

I'm leaning towards "A", would prefer "B" if I planned on racing it, but I'm done with racing (been in the 7's, buck 75).

There are a few companies around southern California that build springs. I think Chariot Springs is one of them. They can build you a custom set of springs for about the same price as aftermarket hd springs. You tell them the amount of arc you want and they build it to order.The ride will be about the same as stock. Going with coil over standard shocks or adding a leaf usualy result in a stiff ride, uneven ride height and then you will just want to do it right. But usually after you spent you money trying to do it the eco way. Remember that you get what you pay for...if your lucky.

Just tell them what you want and they can custom build you a set for not a lot of money.
