6.9 Converted Suspension Help

Sometime in it's long and storied past, my '78 6.9 had the hydraulic suspension amputated and a more traditional suspension installed. The conversion appears to be very well done and the car still rides nicely. It looks like regular 450SEL parts were used in the conversion. Unfortunately the front of the car sits rather low, as the 6.9 L V8 is notably heavier than 4.5 L V8 found in the donor 450SEL.

I would like the car to sit level, either by bringing the front up to factory height or by lowering the rear. Is there a good source for shorter rear springs or longer front springs for W116 cars?
