Some alternative options if you really must keep the Twin:

I really want to rally mine out like this when I get the car paid off. There's one running around my area that's lifted a good 2+" and I think it looks like a whole bunch of fun. |

Hold on.... "I really want to rally mine out.." why so bothered about scarping the bottom of the car if that is the end game?

Ehh, I'm not too worried about scraping it up but I don't want to knock anything (else) loose or damage the exhaust. If I was really worried about it I wouldn't spend time playing around on dirt roads as often as I do especially after I switch back to the winter wheels and tires soon. The front bumper is probably already a lost cause if I don't pull it off soon and replace a few of the clips.

Bet you aren't so fond of gravity now are you?

No, that is not how it works. Not even remotely. Any weight removed from anywhere will raise the car a bit. Remove 100 pounds and it should stop the car from scraping on anything but the worst entryways or hills.

By decreasing the weight behind the rear axle you reduce that part of the force vector sum. Meaning the front actually has a greater force on it, since the moment around the rear axel must still be 0. Greater force on the front, more spring compression. |

Well, I never said anything about scale. Just relativity. Of course it won't change by any noticable amount. We are talking 50lb vs a total of 2750lb.

I didn't imply you did say anything about scale. I was just adding to your comment.
