I always wanted to keep the stock body and raise the suspension like a class 11 score bug or a ww2 comando wagon, you will have a hard time finding a lift kit, t mag used to make them.. you might find one at pacific customs.. buy a hot vws mag and they have a few company that sells all the china made stuff... the front is a ball joint so, can't get to much travel out of them 6.5. max.. but rear you can re adjust the rear torsion, its not all that hard just time consuming.. I had arace chenowth dr2 for many year it had a class limited 1835 11.5:1 double bad motor we build 15inches travel in front and 18 in rear full floater rear.. 930 cvs loved that car, miss it a lot...
