Default Rear coil over help please

Well, after doing my intro yesterday, here is my first question.

I have a classic 427 kit made in 1992 from Classic Roadsters Ltd (no longer in business). It has a fox body type 4 link suspension 8.8" ford diff, with original coil perches (located in front of the axle) that can be adjusted from the upper deck. It has shocks behind the axle (they are Monroe 59017, that I traced for 02 Mercury voyagers also used on 78 Jeep Cj7.

Running wide bfg tires 295/50r15. The rear sits a little uneven with approx 3" clearance above driver tire to wheel well an is 1" lower on Passenger side.

Problem is the tire rubs on passenger wheel well on dips and bumps (sometimes driver side as well)

My question, is when researching coil overs like QA1, the tops have stud mounts, where as my current shock mounts use eyelet mounts for top and bottom. Does anyone have suggestions for good coil overs that can mount to eyelets? I really don't want to cut and weld different mounts if I can avoid it. If you know of coilovers that would fit, a part number would be helpful.
Thanks
Ken
