Raising the rear

Air shocks and extended shackles are TERRIBLE ways to raise the back of your car.

Air shocks take the load from the springs and transfer it all to the shock mounts. Eventually the shock mounts just pound out and you’re left fixing them and then actually raising the car the right way.

Extended shackles don’t lift the car all that much compared to their length, and they ruin the leaf spring geometry.

If you want to raise the back end of the car, get springs with a higher arch. The cost of the springs will end up being less than fixing all the damage you’ll cause doing it the wrong way.
