Default Ford 9" question...

I have heard mention of problems with the 9" on lowered cars. What kind of problems? I have Eibach Pro-kit on my car and looking to get a 9" put in really soon.

The 9" does raise the rear of the car up a bit.

Yeah the 9" will raise the back of the car up.

FWIW I put Prokit springs in the back of my car for a weekend (with the 9") and the car ended up back at stock rideheight.

You might want to experiment by taking out the spring cushions, and sleeving the top coil with radiator hose and see if that will get you the height you want, i have that done on my car.

PSJ said it all. I am waiting on my 28" tires to remove the spring cushions and replace them with heater hose.

Anybody got a pic of the rear of thier car with the Ford 9" so I can see what the height looks like? Also mention what springs you are running so I have some sort of idea what mine will look like.
