What Best Way I Can Lift My Car Up Without Tempering With Shocks Or Tyre? by fineboynl(m): 9:19am On Sep 16, 2023
i plan to buy new front bumper and a bit of body work and respray before Xmas.

but all of this will be counter productive without lifting the car up due to bad roads.

i plan to do them gradually by first lifting it up then next will be to change the front bumper.

i went to consult two mechanic they said they will remove and adjust/weld the shocks. this doesn't sound nice to me.

there is no plan for bigger rim or tyre. is there any other way out?

is it okay to tampered weld the shocks? what if i need to change some of the shocks in future?

Do what he said.. give more details of the cat, and if possible show us pics..

The best way I can think of is the shocks absorbers.

And don't be scared of the welding, it won't affect anything as long as the mechanic uses equal length in both shocks when raising. Just that anytime you change any shock you will need to go raise it again.

I raise mine too for my Toyota Sienna 06.

Two inches is okay.. don't know of the rubber.. haven't used it. But most mechanic always opt for the welding dunno which is better..

what kind of rubber did you use? Can you send picture of what the rubber look like? Also how many inches did you gain?
