Lowering my soarer (air sus)
Have adjusted the legnth of these rods that live behind the wheels. I have successfully lowered the rear, but it has turned out uneven. Have not touched the frount yet. i am in need of a car hoist to lift the car up so i can adjust these rods whilst the car is raised but still on its wheels.
can any one help? willing to pay to use hoist.

Can't you just buy a pair of wheel ramps from Supercheap and do it that way?

cant... bumpers are too low and stick out too far to use ramps

Take the bumpers off? 
Seriously - not trying to be a smartass - I've needed to do this to get cars up onto ramps before..

i bought some ramps for my ma61, but after reading the instructions when i got them home, findin that u couldnt put more than 200mil on them. since i have 225's, and plus the fact that they didnt work without bumper removal made me return them.
dunno if it really matters that much, but be wary.

Its a soarer dude... there's probably one million screws holding just the bumper in place... thanks annyway..
I was just hoping someone here is a mechanic and has a workshop.. or knew someone... driving my car with an inch difference in height is not the best for my tyres (18s 265s on the back and 245s on the Front)
cheers anyway for the suggestion... might have to make my own ramps from planks of wood and bricks.

Another option is to jack up the car and slide something solid under the wheels and lower it again. I've done this before using concrete blocks, but you could use wheel ramps or just about anything that will support the weight of a car. Just make sure you have a jack that goes up fairly high.

I HAve to drive my car onto bricks so then the bumper clears the ramps. You just drive up then push the ramps in and bob's your auntie
