I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero. I have a power wheelchair lift on the back and I cannot find any kind of
a lift kit, to keep the chair lift from dragging on the pavement high spots.
Can anyone help me find something that will work? It doesn't have shocks so Air Shocks are out, it has Mcpherson
type struts on all four wheels so standard air bags won't work. Help this old guy please? Jack

That is a tough one there because it seems no one makes suspension components that are designed to lift the rear of your vehicle to compensate for tongue weight. Most vehicles here where I live that have scooter lifts are either vans, suvs, or full size cars.
I was looking around on the net and there is a company that makes a dolly looking apparatus that enables you to keep your mid or small size car and haul that around. Have you tried calling the company that made your lift and see what they recommend?

You can't jackknife it because the wheels swivel when you back up. Check it out. Pretty cool.

They rag that thing out testing it. You could probably take that thing on Baja.
