I posted this, then deleted it and thought about it some more. I would like to know if there is a decent way to raise my 94 Cutlass Supreme about 3". Taller tires are not an option. There is a means to my madness!

What I'm looking for is just a little more ground clearance. And possibly a little better weight transfer. And since I'm not drafting at Daytona, aerodynamics isn't an issue. But! I have an alterior motive! HeeHee! (Weebils just kill me!)If you are driving a Chevy, everything else, is just a blur. 3.4 Carbon Footprint.

No joke... new struts (KYB GR2s) raised the rear of my car about 2"
They did not alter ride height in the front though. I imagine different trim levels and years of W bodies had different front springs. Maybe there is a factory replacement option that offers greater ride height, same applies for the rear monoleaf.1991 Grand Prix GTP LX9swap/Getrag 284 --- SOLD =(

i use to go muddin in my 91 4 door cutlass..... i rased the back alittle by lifting the car off of the ground and cutting a pice of 2X4 about s or so inches long not really sure on the exact length.. it has been a while... any way put the block under the rear momo leef in the middle between the spring and the center lift point.. bassicallt in the center lift point.... cut it to fit the exact space between the leef and the lift point...... it will lift a inch or to.... probably not the best thing for the spring but does work1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible 3.4 DOHC

That would really stress a monoleaf. Ass end is easy. Get rid of the mono and go coil overs. I want front end lift to equal what I can already do to the back. I thought about lowering the towers. Lots of cutting and welding. Not sure about alignment yet. We are almost ready to get to the Madness!

i just thought of a possibable way to rase the front..... probably a bad idea.. i mean i am drunk right now but ....... on the front is it possibable to make a spacer to put between the top of the strut and the strut tower.......1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible 3.4 DOHC
