do you guys swap out when snow comes around?

I just wanted to see what people are doing on this board.

If you lived in a snow state, use your G as a DD and have a lowered suspension, do you guy swap out in the winter to stock?


I'm thinking of doing this but concerned about the alignment part. Swapping suspension is not a problem for me since it doesn't cost me anything, but the alignment will. Twice a year can be costly. I'm not sure if i should go do firestone's lifetime. I'm sure when they see me twice a year they will somehow revoke my lifetime policy.



What do you guys do? My last car was a maxima but it wasn't low and when i dropped it an inch it wasn't low at all so i just drove thru the winter. The G on the other hand with an inch drop, its low to a point where i will have trouble in my alley.

I wouldn't swap the suspension, but I will swap the wheels. The salt eats away at the finish on aftermarket wheels.
