Highering the suspensions on a 300C SW diesel

[univet]

Mabe you'll think I am crazy...
But my 300C diesel Station Wagon (like Dodge Magnum) is too low. I live in Romania where roads are not so good. Today I was at the service to change the cooling fluit tank (leaking), there was some dich and I was hit it again underneath.
I want to higher it a bit
I saw there are three ground clearances
5.1 inches on RWD limited
5.6 inches on RWD Touring
6,1 inches on AWD models both Chrysler and Dodge Magnum.
Mine ins 5.1 inches as I haven't saw a lower car except those with some lowering kit.
Can you please help me with some information? mabe springs from a AWD model is enough to change my suspension height......

wow....i'm not sure that you'd want to do that, it would raise the car about 2-3 inches i believe. Doing that may cause the shocks to be extended to much and cause issues.

300c stretched limos get raised up so you might want to talk to one of those companies on if they have issues.

Thank you, but how will I reach them?
With AWD springs I thikk to rise only one inch. If will be more I will change the shocks too- also from AWD mdels

We put R/T springs on an AWD and it lowered the car to the point where we couldn't really drive it. It went down about 3 inches.

The AWD front shocks will not fit

The suggestion of the Limo springs is a good one,

3" sounds like a bit much, I think I only got 5" out of the bags lol.

If I were to raise up the car I would machine a spacer to mount on top of the strut to essentially add 1" to 1.5" to the height up front. In the rear I would try to find a limo spring or something if not add a urethane donut of some sort.

Thank you.
But how will I get a Limo Spring?
And why springs from AWD are not fittable? One inch is not to much and I can keep mabe the original shocks. So I can contact a Chrysler dealer in Europe to get these springs...For limo springs.....US only.
Or should I go for manufacturing some spacers on both sides front and rear?

Is yours an AWD? seriously, with the RT springs on the AWD the car was not really driveable it was so low. It kept bottoming out the sub frame in the front. We could bounce the car by hand and make it bottom out.

The shocks in the front of the AWD are different than the RWD, and the springs are very different.
I'm not sure where to go about getting Limo springs, do a google search for limo's in your area and call them to ask who did the conversion.
