Default trailer hitch

when i bought my 97 it came with a trailer hitch on it, i'm getting it removed probably this weekend but i was wondering if maybe the people who put the hitch on also raised up the back end of the mustang even moreso than it already was....it looks like its up higher in the back than any other mustangs i really see....and it has a really big fender gap in both the back and the front. So is it possible to screw around and adjust the struts or shocks?

Who da crank put a trailer hitch on the mustang?[:'(] i can already imagine it and i bet it looks dumb, but back to your question, and the answer is probably yes. im pretty sure they had to mess with the struts and shocks to get the rear end height adjusted suitable for hitching a trailer............. man thats still funny

I have a hitch on the back on my 96', but the ball is removable.You can barely tell that its on there when the ball is off.

I do have the ball off and it is still noticeable. If the back was jacked up, can someone please tell me how this was done, and what i need to do to get it back to its normal height?

I don't think you can raise it unless they did some custom crap, and if they did, you're not gonna be able to do anything but replace the springs and shocks and struts.
