The rear of the wagon is 2" lower than the front end. My SLS appears to work correctly, and has no sign of leaking. Also the ride is smooth, not harsh or bouncy. To get the rear up a couple inches, what is the best route?

After reading some old posts, it seems that I should -
Have a new rear diff mount put in, as well as new subframe bushings.

Is there anything else, other than replacing the springs completely, that can correct the problem?

Anyone ever have this done, and can share the cost?

Thanks.

Depending on the existing thickness of the spring pads..........you can go with thicker pads and increase the ride height by a bit.

How about just adjusting the rod going to the SLS valve?

I read in a past post that this would shorten the life of the valves. Figured I'd inquire with the mechanic and see if that is a safe option.

A differential mount shouldn't affect the height. It will cause noise, or vibration. The springs are what hold the rear at proper height when unloaded. You don't mention if the rear lifts when you load it and then start the car? If it stays low either the pump isn't working. Check that then move onto the other suspension parts.
