hi
is it safe ...well yes it bepends on how far u wind them (I've got mine up its riding on the bump stop... no down travel)
will it effect your alinement ...... yep sure will
having it up so far means i can get 1 wheel off the ground in pot holes and (I swear) after braking hard on road recoil ! seems front wheels come off the ground a lot .......note to self cut bump stops.....
ride is harser but then i got nissan springs on the back........and yes the front is suppose to be lower .......got to do with steering geometery if you do any thing like this u will need to get a wheel alinement
is it a daily driver or do u go offroad a lot ?

Hi, got my '96 paj about 3mos ago. It's already "high" and ride was a bit rough. I already replaced all four shocks and ride has improved, but when it got loaded with passengers and stuff the front was "looking up" a bit. Sometimes I feel the front is "bouncing" around. Does this mean am "riding on the bump stop?" How or what do I check? And what do I adjust to improve the ride?

By the way, the past few days I was using it with a 45kilo sack of rice at the back, and ride was great except for the occasional roughness at the front end. How does this relate to above? :?:


Thanks!
