Hmmmm... :-) Might work, though that kind've opens a whole new
can of worms. If I put a body lift on, of course I'd have to get bigger
tires (no way around it, really...) ;-) which means more stress on the
axles and other components, and I would probably need to get shorter
gears than my current 3.54s to get the little 318 to move the beast.
(blower?) So a $100 body lift will probably very quickly result in a great
expenditure of additional money, one way or the other. So I have been
trying to avoid them. ;-)
