How to unlower a 2000?
The 2000 FRC I just bought was lowered and Im not much into that. How do I go about bringing it back up to where it should be? Im also going to take the Penske adjustable shocks off. They are listed on the for sale section.

Tighten the bolts on the leaf spring in back, and losen the ones on the leaf spring in the front.

Is there stops on the bolts you tighten and losen?

no stops; you will not loosen any of them, count about 8 threads showing the rear or 1 inch of the bolt showing from the top of the nut
on the front, tighten the adjuster so 1.125 inches of the thread are showing
the rear is simple 18/21mm, front often requires jacking the spring to relieve pressure, 10mm 6 POINT ONLY, USE BOX END

Shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours, as long as the front bolts haven't frozen in place....

here's a pic of the front, the bottom of the rubber pad rests on the top of the control arm
the rear utilizes a different setup, the spring is on the bottom of the control arm opposed to the top like the front

Could you tell me what the normal length of the back bolt is? It looks longer then the one you show.
Thanks
