There don't seem to be many discussions (any?) of *lifting* the suspension from stock.
I've tried searching for 'lift', 'raise', and a handful of other terms. Am I missing the right one?
My '00 became my winter beater after 7 years of faithful service, and it's now given me another 7 in only the (deep Canadian) snow. During the summer, one of the things I do when I take it off the road is lift the suspension approximately half way, and put the pinch welds on blocks. With a little extra pressure in the tires, this unloads the weight by half, and seems to have been working really well to keep the wheels round and suspension in good order (still original equipment).
And every summer, sitting on the front step with the smell of fresh-cut lawn in my nostrils, and a well-earned beer draining down my throat, I think "Damn, the Accord looks way cool lifted up like that!" I need to confess, I really used to dig the AMC Eagle back in its day.
Seeing as how it's actually meant to beat the winters, I figure another inch or two (or three!) of ground clearance, would really help from time to time. And look badass.
Can anybody steer me towards some info?
Much obliged,
