Does anyone know if there is a block or jack up kit to raise the front suspension? I have a 1998 - 4.0 litre.

The original springs seem okay, if they were 2 inches longer, blocked an inch, something?

just wondering what is wrong with the ride where it is?

In my opinion a lot of GM products could use a stiffer front spring. I find this because the bodies sink down over time.

I find the Aurora to be low enough when brand new, in fact too low if I had a choice. Now that mine has sunk down a bit she is uncomfortably low.

To cure this with other vehicles I have replaced the stock springs with Moog replacements. They are often stiffer or available stiffer.

The thing is, the Aurora springs would be fine if they were a part coil longer or blocked up a bit. That would save me throwing them away and would hopefully be cheaper fix.

So the ride is fine except for being too low, (for me).

there is a company called arnott industries, they sell suspension parts for the aurora. i just relpaced my rear air with the ones from this company. may wanna try them, i think they also make a elimination kit for the rear air ride too. i know my brother has a range rover and it had all sorts of problems with the air ride system, he bought the spring kit and converted. job well done. Just a thought!
