08 e350 my ride in the front is too low and I hit a lot of stuff like bottoming out.

my question is what’s the best way to increase the height in my ride in the front? Adjustable shocks?

 

Are your springs broken? I had to replace all 4 corners on my '05 E320.

 

What tires are you using? Tire height is very easy to change if that is the problem.

 

how old is your shocks? perhaps its shot

 

Springs are what will effect ride height not the shocks, although if original shocks/struts they are probably shot. Getting new springs at the same time will/should restore original ride height. Now if you had/have air ride suspension or after market air shocks those can change the static ride height. If I had to guess though original springs which need replacing.

 

I had my mechanic put in new springs and shocks that were 1 piece in the front. Ever since then the ride has been too low.

 

So ya went with aftermarket coil overs and the ride height is lower now? Makes sense. Probably a lowering setup. Dont know what to tell ya, maybe go back to stock or live with it, or go back to the mechanic and have them try and change it.

 

Put monster truck shocks on it!

 

Tell your mechanic that his aftermarket parts are not up to par and you'd like OEM stuff put back in.

 

+1 : exactly

how much was that quick job ?
Unfortunately your old springs are long gone by now. Best option is gently used old springs that won't work with universal struts.... catch-22.

Did you get a wheel alignment to prevent extreme tire wear??
