I have entirely too much stereo equipment in my trunk and it is causing the rear end to sag 1.5 to 2 inches. anybody know how to raise the rear end back to stock height short of tossing the stereo? The suspention is still OE.

 

Three words: Jack on Wheels.....

I don't thinks there's any good way other than getting stiffer springs or shocks (they need more weight to be depressed the same distance, i know this is how spring rate is measured, i don't know how effective stiffer shocks would be though). If this helps, great, if it doesn't, sorry, it's the best i could think of. Good luck!

P.S. Big car = Room to BOOM! Gotta love the bass...lol.

 

airsuspension!

 

Easy fix and inexpensive is the polyurethane spring inserts that you can get from Pep Boys or AutuZone that slip in between the coils in front and rear of each spring...when unsprung of course...offers either 1/2 inch or 1 inch help according to dimensions but of course this will depend on where you place them and how much potential space you have now.

BTW approx how much weight are you carrying?

Probably 250-300 lbs betweene the subs, enclosure, amps, amprack, and all the other essentials.
I'll give the spacers a shot though.

 

that i bought from kragen for 5 bucks. It raised my rear end about 1.5inches

 

You could also try lowering the front 2 inches with some Sprint springs. I think they have a lowering height of about that. This will even it out with the back and give you a better look.
Just a thought.

 

KONI adjustable rears have a raised setting that bumps the back end about an inch and a quarter higher without affecting the springs... designed specifically for people with back end loading. Basically, it moves the lower spring bracket up on the shock. I think spring inserts would affect the ride, potentially for the worse.
