So do you think I could find a reliable mechanic who would crank them up a
bit? Would doing so affect the ride quality? Has anybody ever done this?
If you got say an inch of lift out of it, would it then be reasonable to use
1" blocks under the springs in the back to retain the same geometry? And
would all that be worth it for 1" (maybe 2)???
