Legacy LSI wagon, and it has a ride height adjustment that allows
you to increase ride height 4". It runs on a small pneumatic pump.
Not all the legacy series wagons had it, just the LSI version. You
could probably pick the pump out of a wreck for a song.

Thanks, Brian.  Sounds like it may work.  Any estimates as to
size/weight.  Where is it located on the car (engine compartment,
trunk, under back seat, etc.).  My wife's 1988 Lincoln Mk VII has a
similar ride control system, but way too heavy to seriously consider
and would be a huge overkill.  However, it also has an electric seat
with adjustable lumbar bladders that are operated by a small electric
pump.  I thought I would check into those as well, due to their small
size.

My dream car Mark. Has it been reliable? The Cougar version also has
the lumbar pump.
