Default Rear leaf spring question 1964

When I had my 64 on the lift, I noticed the back leaf springs were touching the rear wheel. The car rides real low, scrapes over rail road tracks. The real wheels could not turn because they were pined to the leaf springs. Are the springs worn out, or do I need new shock or is something else? The shocks appear to be ok.
Thanks,
Geroge
