Lehman Monark 1

Is there a way to raise the rear up a little other than the adjustment, as my pipes drag sometimes.

Larger diameter rear tires.

Thanks Blue, but I can't go any larger.

Howard,

The earlier Monarch I has some robust rear tires. They used a 245/60R15 or R16 and some came with a 265/50R15 or 16.

The Monarch II came with a 205/70R15 or 16. I can see you are worried about fitment into the wheel well of the Monarch I because the tires you currently have are a bear to remove and install because of their width. The 70 series tires are a breeze and still have the same diameter.

Now to increase the ride height for occasional exhaust drag clearance, use a 215 (preferred) or 225/70R15 or 16 depending on your wheel size. They will be easier to install and you may have found that the 245 & 265 may not be available anymore.

Hope this isn't confusing.
