Glen, the suspension is adjusted by the coil overs. The one thing to remember though is the more you raise the car, the more "other" adjustments you have to make. I set my car to the ERA specs and locked the jamb locks on and that's it. Then you have to set the rest of the suspension, the camber, the toe, etc. If you change the ride heights AFTER this, it throws off everything (camber front and rear!) I even put weight in the driver seat to set the suspension up, old race car days. The only difference is when you have the new ERA rear end. BUT, it should be easier as there is way more adjust ability out of that than the Jag unit!! I don't really believe you have 2" to 3" of travel though. There can't be, other wise you would need longer lower arms all the way around and longer half shafts. When the car is set up right, you might have maybe 3/4" to 1" I would imagine before other things get screwy. The suspension only travels so much and it's not like a regular street car. My car has maybe 1" of travel between the shocks and their stops. The coils I can barely get a finger between and I still have plenty of suspension. My car drives wonderfully and handles excellent. I wish my everyday car drove like this car!! Regards, Matt
