Spring shims are cheap and easy to put on. I got about an inch on my back end using the thickest ones.

Give Phil a call, and ask him about springpads - he'll probably want to know how many bumps you want. You''ll have to see how many bumps your current pads have. If they already have three, you're getting the highest center of gravity already.

Angry Damn

This is why YOU NEVER DRIVE MERCEDES 300D'S IN WINTER ESPECIALLY MY 85, my 83 doesnt HAVE NO RUST PERIOD becuase i dont drive it in snow, i sometimes did drive it in winter but not in snow. Snow is a ***** sorry to say but you have to clean it. no its not much snow its the salt they lay on the damn road thats what. Sorry for the language but its the truth i dont know but its the sub frame that looks rusted, that needs some changing, i need a new antenna system cause it barely reads the channels and the motor doesnt work...water got in cause there is nothing around the end of the antenna area mount thing, the steering wheel has some freeplay that needs some fixing, rear passenger window has a gearing problem, the locks lock when they want to... and the stuff i have done now is oil and oil filter, air filter, new fresh tank of diesel. thats about it.
