Soaring My front sits lower for a rake look like in the 60's. which I had a Mustang back than that was one of the first ones made. I lived in Detroit and it was so early that the passenger seat didn't move but thats another story. I got a snap-on mid rise lift that my car won't go over without hitting if anybody is in the car. So up it goes, I need that inch if you see what I mean? If you want to talk about the post stuff e-mail me off line please. Ricm

Yeah, I remember those rake years. Nose 1" from the ground and the *** end up in the air using extension shackles. Not real smart when you have uneven highways though.

Perhaps a picture would help the visually impaired (me) understand your problem...since I don't understand what it is.

Just to help matters....here are 2 mustang with similar ride heights



Now if you are worried that your car is sitting too low, that's fine...we can help you make a decision on how to fix it, but you have not supplied enough information yet. The way to raise the car on the left is VERY different than the way to raise the car on the right. A cupie doll to the first person who can tell me why?

Nothing that DS has ever had was original. He just changed the hood and took out the horse and corral on the #2 pic.

Just wanted to add that the only real way of measuring ride height, to isloate the suspention is to vertically measure from the fender lip, to the CENTRE of the wheel. this takes out any effects of tire profile and wheel sizes.
