I'd like to raise my rear up above factory stock height for heavy loads.Shame but they make no air shocks,or loadlever shocks.I'm wondering If I shim my diff mount will this give me the extra inch I want.

It will mess with your camber if you do that. Need to do all mounts evenly if thats the route. I would be nervous of the extra leverage on the body. If I did it I would weld a steel plate in. Probably easier to add mounts to your control arms and add air bags.

Check out leveling kits for toyota tacomas. Its a spacer that goes on top of the spring.

They also make a really cheap device that slips in between the coils. But if one side pops out going down the road...

I know our coils are such a wreid size that nothing will fit.I did my w126 that way,also the w126 has different size spring shims,you can order.

Do you know anyone with access to a 3d printer?

That would help. Otherwise find ones bigger and shave them down.

Its always the challenge for guys like us. Doing things that havent been done.

I used to run 1" rubber spacers above the springs on my w123, it did mess with the alignment. but you might be able to do something like that?

It australia there is a company that sells an eccentric pin kit for front and rear of a 123. Adjust camber if you lower or raise it.

You could probably make one or adapt one easily.

I wish they made different thickness of spring pads,like on the w126
