    Rear Lowering Block Alternatives

    This is just a shot (and may get flamed) but I have searched and came up with nothing. Is there anyway, that cost under 100 or less to lower the back just a little bit (even 1/2 an inch would be fine). For example, is it possible to put something like a hockey puck to use as a lowering block...

    what intake?

    Newest, wrecked truck I've seen!

    Our family dealership (very small) got a new 05 mustang in, and went to trade it for another and on the way it hit a deer. Lots of damage, but the car held up really well.

    99 Explorer sounds like exhaust rumble

    My 98' 4.0 SOHC does the same thing. When im sitting at a stoplight it will vibrate and make the low noise, and when i let off the brake it will do it for a little while but when i accelerate it goes away. it will vibrate for about 3-4 seconds then go away then come right back.

    I have only about 62000 miles on my 98 X. The shocks are starting to make some noise. Is this normal? and how much longer should i wait to replace them? I know i can go a long time, but i like to keep up on upkeep.

    Correct PSI tire inflation

    There will be alot of different opinions on this. I would put the pressure at about 38. The higher pressure the better your gas mileage will be.
