If a fellow would adjust ride height on all 4 wheels for $80, I'd let him do it, if you were sure of his capabilities. First time I did it, it took a whole 3 day weekend to do it, lots of rusted bolts on the rear. Plus, you really need the Bentley factory manual, about $40 in itself, some good jackstands, floor jack, good-quality breaker bar and sockets and a 17mm allen wrench. Lots of WD-40 and patience will help. The front end is fairly easy, but you still need the book. The rear adjustment amount to dismantling the whole rear suspension to make the torsion bar adjustments. The procedure is all spelled out in the manual.
