Of course that may affect the aerodynamics and car handling on the corners, but if you want it more for that dragster car look then that is what you need.

My old Challenger had hydraulic shocks in the rear so I could raise or lower it with a little air pressure.

You may be able to tell it was raised in my avatar of my sublime Challenger.
wow for some reason to me I always thought ur avatar was yellow. Man I must be blind or the pic quality isnt great.
Yes, that picture was taken in 1976 and and with a 110mm camera those cameras were not focused all that well.

When I joined the forum in 2006, I searched for those pics and had them scanned in so I could have a permanent copy that would survive with time.

Yes, I had the car painted with a brighter sublime color and the 1972 color I thought was the best. The photo has aged and with scanning it does look a little yellow.

When I got the car it already had the rear air shock system in it and the valve stem was in the trunk. When I wanted to raise the rear of the car, I aired up the shocks via the trunk. The valve was always clean and out of the way. Easy to day compared to today microcontroller based air systems.
