will they acually raise the car any? or just make it stiffer so it wont compress? where can i get them and how much are they. im wanting them to help my rubbing problem from the tire hitting the fender, oh ya and they help traction! (i would like to be able to raise them a little)

 

Air Lift 1000. Part # 60897. Look for it on Summit or JEG's... about $68 for the pair.

You can run them as low as 5psi, which won't raise the back end at all. Run them up over 20psi and the back end will come up slightly.

 

has anyone tried these? How hard to install? Thanks!

 

Yes... I ran them in both rear springs. As 5psi, you don't know they are there. Go above 10psi, and things will start to firm up, and the back end will start to rise. Just raise the pressure in the passenger side bag for drag racing - I typically ran around 15psi.

Install is simple.... support the rear axle assembly on a floor jack, unbolt the shocks, drop the axle assembly until springs fall out. Make sure you don't stretch the wires for the ABS sensor, if you have one on top of the diff housing. Put the hard rubber base in the spring, resting on top of the axle spring seat. Put the airbag in, with the hose at the bottom, threaded through the hole in the hard rubber base. Put the springs back in as you slowly raise the rear axle. Make sure the springs (and the upper seats, if they fell out) are orientated the same way they were before you dropped them out.

I ran each air hose independanly, to the inside of the hatch area. Tied the hose to the e-brake covering (not sure if your late-model is the same as my older model), put a big loop to allow for axle travel, ran it through a hole high up in the inner fender liner, and drilled a hole on each side at the upper edge of the hatch well for the valve.

Bag in spring, hard rubber base between the spring and the axle seat, hose tied to e-brake:

Bringing old thread back to life, but for me I believe my car is rubbing on wheelhops which I plan to address with LCA's. But I'd also like to lift the back a little bit more, would this be a good route to go?

 

as was noted above, the more pressure you run the stiffer the ride. if you are just trying to lift the back up a small amount for a fixed ride height this is probably not the best way. you can buy a spacer for that or buy a taller spring. it all depends on you and what you are trying to accomplish.

 

How much will they raise the rear of the car?

 

Not much at all. In my case maybe 1/8", maybe a hair more.
