Stiffen? Is the rear bouncing or just soft? if bouncing replace shocks. If soft some spacers may help.

The suspension seems too soft, it leans way too much when turning, and when I'm climbing slippery hills it is losing too much traction and i am spinning out. As for spacers, how would you put them on and where do you get them?

My ole 98 needs new shocks. When i go over bumps its banging. When you push on the back it bounces all over so spacers are out for me. You can use washers, PVC or i think there are spacer kits. Just do a search for spring spacers on this forum and you will get all you need.
