Default How do I gets up front susp?

My car appears to be lowered about 1 or 2 inch...

The hit too much I Mean, my garage is a little bit up than the street and the car hits the entrance.

I need to upper the front of the car.. some body told me that is easy, but I dont know how.

Are you sure you are not dragging the small black plastic air lip under the front facia when going in and out of your driveway? I drag mine all the time and simply replace the piece every couple of years for $50 and an hour of my time - plus beer breaks Raising and lowering the front and rear of the car is a piece of cake but you will need a couple of jacks - one to lift the car and another to lift each wheel to take tension off the bow spring so you can turn the bolt.

Thanks both for understand my bad english because my born language is spanish, so I do my best...

Well, that you said Mr Entreprise captain , my car doesnt have that plastic , only the middle one, on the other side, I tried to use an antique type of meassure....... insert the hand between the tire and the fender of my friend´s Z06 and I can insert 4 fingers between them and the bottom of the bumper where at high as my ankle 1 inch up.....

When I did that in my Vette, I only can inserted 2 or maybe 2 and a half and the bumper are exactly in my ankle....

I have enough tools to do the work, so I will try..

I´ll let you know the result.

Thanks again

You'll also need to get an alignment when you've finished. Good luck!
