Lowering/raising/adjusting trim height
My 92 Convert sits about 1" lower than it did a few years ago, I was thinking of adjusting the trim height, but the service manual says not to change the shims on the springs, that it would overstress the spring. Anyone here have any ideas, or tried anything else? Thanks

It seems it cost you nothing to lower it,while others spend money to get where your at. Why change it, it must look better being a bit lower. :cheers:

Have you checked the rear spring for cracks, delamination, or other signs of failure? A one-inch drop with no changes sounds suspicious of other problems. JMHO, but I'd check everything carefully.

Crank up the nuts on the long bolts at the end of the spring. That will raise the rear. Then get re-aligned. :cheers:
