     One method I recall was to run such as a broom handle between the
     tire and
     fender and use the tire as leverage.A  I won't be dropping it enough
     for that
     as the tire won't be quite that close to the fender.A  I suppose

     as I can
     at the desired ride height, then lift the car, remove the coil-over,
     and
     swing the suspension to see if I still have clearance.
     Other ideas?
