How do I raise the rear of the car??
Here is my latest problem...I just added a new rear anti sway bar and the tailpipe (both sides) is hitting it when I hit a bump. Problem started a while back when I had the pipes custom bent. At that point - I had the original leaf springs on the car. Once I switched to the heavy 5 leaf springs - the rear lowered about 2 inches. I have compensated for this by adding 1" lower front coil springs. I love the handling that the rear anti sway bar has given me, but every time I hit a bump - I can hear the tailpipes hitting the bar. I don't want to remove the bar because of the handling. Is there a way to raise the body of the car while retaining the same leaf springs. I know they make lift kits for trucks, but has anyone heard of such a thing for a Mustang. Another thought would be to have custom shackles made to raise the body. Last resort would be to have new pipes bent and installed, but before I do that I figured that I would ask...

If you like the way it handles dont change a thing. The easiest and probably cheepest thing to do is change the tailpipe.

Will have it looked at.
Good advice - why mess with the suspension any more now that it is where I want it. Still don't like paying for it twice. The first set was rather funny...A friend said he could do it (he is a mechanic) and I agreed. He ordered 2 five foot sections of pipe. Well about 3 hours later and 25 feet of tubing - he had it close enough to drive home. I let it go at that since he didn't charge me for the extra pipe. I think he learned a valuable lesson in pipe bending...It' not as easy as it looks.
I am taking it to a specailist Saturday morning...We will see how that goes? Thanks... |
