    Gusto ko sana iincrease ng konti (max 1 inch) yung ride height ng wagon ko para mas maganda ipang soft-road.

    What would be the best way to do it? By best I mean mura lang, safe, at di mag-iiba ang ride. Thanks guys!

    Pag mataas ang vehicle, especially if it's taller than it's wider, be careful on curves, prone sa rollover yan.

    mataas ang 1 inch! mga .5 lang ang pwede mo mailagay na spacer sa struts mo(wagon ka diba?) kung di mag papasadya ka ng bolts.

    Di ko naman isa-sacrifice yung safety siyempre ano. That's why I asked their service personnel first. Anyhow, ang recommendation nila is to switch from mags/tires from 215/45/R17 to 215-235/55/R18.

    Ang problema naubos ang stock nung malaking mags so now sa tires na lang ako puwede mag-recompute.

    How you lift will depend on the vehicle. Lift kits are available for most SUV's.

    However, if you are driving a car or car based SUV's, there are no lift kits for such.

    1" is tall already. On my former Pajero wala pang 1" ang suspension lift. The rest of the added height came from the bigger tires which could fit after the lift.

    Yes, the vehicle will handle differently and will be more prone to a rollover. But I've never rolled my rig. Just know your and the vehicle's limits.

    Yung balak ko kasi is a legacy wagon ... bale change tires from 215/45 to 225/45. Doing the math, that'll add .53 inches to the height and .39 inches to the width. Sounds safe enough right? Gaganda pa nga daw ang ride and I don't even have to change rims.

    Do you think they're right that this won't affect the safety/ride guys? I figure kasi hindi nila isa-suggest yun kung delikado kasi may warranty yun eh.

Advise on increasing ride height?
