Best way to raise rear end?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Sep 02, 06 3:35 pm

What the best way to raise or stiffen the rear end? Some times it is necessary for me to raise the back end of the satellite due to lots of luggage or heavy passengers weighing it down and the Bananarama! the arches. I am currently running KYB air shocks.

Fit new springs.

What size are the tyres?.Air shocks are a bad idea full stop,as they load the spring perches/upper shock mounts.Best way to solve the problem is to rearch leaves or fit a set of heavy duty hemi springs.some get over it by using longer rear shackels,but all this does is bend the springs & cause wind up on hard acceleration.I know you didn't really want to hear that.
