Lift Kit

[kermit]

Ok...I know that plenty of people have tired to lower their cars, but I want to raise mine . So on the rear end I'm just going to cut off the hubs and mount them down about 4 inches and really raise up the rear.

I really don't know of a good way to do something like that up front. One of my ideas was to install spacers underneath all of the strut tops and all of the k frame mounting bolts, but that's not as much my favorite, because the engine will still hang down really low and i think that i would have do something with the steering rack, because I believe that would have to stay with the body since it's connected to the steering wheel.

My other idea is to just try and space out the struts and see if their is enough travel in the A arm to gain some height there. I would then of course have to recamber the wheels and such.

Any other ideas?? I don't necessarily need as much height up front, maybe 2-3". Whatever it is, it's going to have to be fairly rugged since this is going to be an TII off road/dune car.

Mopar perfomance use to make rally springs for the p-bodys, raised them up.

Maybe try mini struts and springs up front

Does anyone know how much taller mini struts and springs are? Would they work in the rear also?

Minivan's use leafs in the rear

ok...yeah that's not that big of a deal, I already had the back figured out. I was just thinking that maybe if the mini has more travel to the suspension that would be nice. So I'll have to look for a set of mini struts for the front. Does anyone know how much this will raise it up?

I have no idea but, what you can do is go to your local parts store with a tape measure, and get them to show you a mini strut and a daytona strut, measure from the bottom of the strut to the spring seat on both, that should give you a really good idea of the lift.
