Default Ford 9" Rear Raises stock Rear Height?

How would I go about adjusting the ride height in the rear of my 2002 TA WS6 once I install a 9"? I understand that the 9" raises the rear a little and I would like to maintain my stock height so if I was to add lowering springs witch would I need to keep the stock height in the rear with the 9" installed?

I would say whatever lowering spring you install, see what the drop looks like and if it sits higher in the rear, do the heater hose mod

It will probably be MAYBE, 1/4" taller at the most. When mine went in, I saw no difference.

Most people don't notice a height difference when adding a 9 inch rear. Bob
