Default quick lowering question.

I actually want to raise my rear 1/2".

The car was previously leveled, but I want my rake back.

Can I just adjust the bolts without getting the wheels off the ground? (ie, ramps)

Yeah, the rear is easy enough to adjust you can do it with the car on the ground.

Obviously there will be a little more tension on the adjusting bolts/nuts since the weight of the car is on it...but I've done some fine adjustments on the rear several times without jacking the car up.
