Spring boosters. Who knew!!
I've been so frustrated since I added the body kit and lowering springs and nearly every where I go I tend to scrape the front. The rear springs lowered perfectly but the fronts seemed to lower too much. I even replace the shock mounts as well.
Out of the blue, I saw a bag of spring boosters. I hadn't thought about those since the 80's!! I bought a set and we put on a friends lift and put two on each side, spaced evenly and in exactly the same spot.
Voi la! Now the front and rear are perfectly leveled, the ride didnt change a bit and the camber even improved. All for 10.00 and 30 minutes work!! Ad not one scrape now!!

I can not believe I forgot about those!
As it is I will admit I have scrapped my front bumper a few times. I'm sure if I lowered Naomi her bumper would end up in pieces.
Glad you found a fix, I'm always a huge fan of cheap and easy solutions.

I had a 66 Mustang I used to take to the drag strip very weekend. a 289 V8 in a light car with poor rear suspension meant you got bad wheel hop off the line. A veteran racer gave me the cheap fix.
Smashed two beer cans (the good old steel ones), jacked up the rear end and wedged the cans into the leaf springs. Instant fix. No more wheel hop.
And my E.T.s when down (slightly).
