Roll Me Over
No one's mentioned the air bag trick. That's all I use - $55, a ball valve between them for offroad. I can jack it to ridiculous heights. I'd go coil spacer too but for me I'd still need bags - haul alot lumber, bricks, etc.

AirLift is the company.

Body Damage is Cool
Damn that's one beautiful car you got there Bret and I agree on the airbags, there's no suspension component that can match their sweet ride.

Aibags are a great option. I have the chevy airlift bags on my truck. the problem I have with them is they are my only source of lift. If they fail off-road then my lift does too. they could fail from exhaust heat, line being pinched, or a bag busting, ( even though I have never heard of a bag busting) still possible. Plus when I get passed 2" lift or so with them the ride gets too rough. Bouncing around everywhere. I plan on using them with my new springs as a load leveler only.
