Cheapest way to get an inch or 2...

okay let me rephrase that; if you put 40 or so PSI in the shocks and it lifts the car a couple inches you don't think there is 300-400 pounds or more riding on the upper shock mounts? cars that were made to handle weight on the upper shock mounts had big mounts on the top and something called a strut

Ok, how about coil-over shocks people use to get the extra lift?...don't they put the same "stress" on the upper mounts?

shocks help with rebound; struts hold weight on a car like A bodies shocks shouldn't be used to lift a car any

How about tightly valved rally shocks...they also put extra "stress" on the mounts.

air shocks cost what? $100? for that price you can get 2 add a leafs and the U bolts and put an extra leaf in either side

Extra leafs will surely make it ride rougher.

I guess we'll just have to "agree to disagree"
