Well I want to lift my neon, not like a foot or anything, just 1-3 inches, mainly since the bumps here are from hell and my bumper is scratched the hell up, also when snow comes around, there tends to be rockhard drifts on sidestreets and I have a feeling those will have a bad effect on my bumper.

Basically how can I lift my neon, Ive found nothing on google about lift kits, (98 neon lift kit finds dodgeram lift kits and neon lowering kits.)

heh, if only I had the money. I just want to lift to give me a little more clearance, I may get some bigger tires, but I need to pay off a few things before I do that

Just use stock 2nd gen struts and springs should be good enough for almost a 2" lift. Don't know if it will provide for a taller tire though. My 175/80R14 snow tires (on stock 14" steelies) need a 3mm spacer in the rear to avoid rubbing on the spring perch on 1st gen Koni's. The part where they attach to the spindle is a different width as well. Pretty sure that the 2nd gen is wider, so you'd have to either make/use spacers or just pick up spare 2nd gen spindles from a salvage yard. Then the 1st gen axles won't fit in 2nd gen hubs... different spline count in the hub IIRC. Pretty sure you can swap over mtx axles, but I don't know about atx.

Best of luck!
