Looks like you DON'T have the drop spindles. that is why you had to lower it so much to get it down, and it's sagging. Put the drop spindles on, raise car back up. Who ever sold you the kit should have known that.

Hi! I got a mustang ii front end on my 66. I agree with 10SECGAOL, I don’t think have drop spindles. I have drop spindles on mine and the lower control arms are a bit higher than ground level compared to your which are lower than ground level and the car is as low as it can be, any lower and you can’t steer.
You problem is not caused by the spindle but by your springs, they might be too weak or they have been cut and they cut too much off. You can buy a ¾ inch spacer to put between the spring and spring hat.
What is the distance of your tire to the fender lip?
I need a shop or someone in the LA Area who has dealt with the MII setup and can help me adjust mine.
Put in the new springs... only got 1/4 of an inch more lift. So back to the drawing board on the fix.
We originally bought the kit from here: Jim Weimer Rod Garage - Hot Rod & Street Rod Parts, Mustang II IFS, 32 Ford Rails, Hub to Hub Kits, Model A Frames
I'm starting to think it wasn't the best made kit.
Hi! If I were you I would try heidts 3/4 inch spacer. They should bring your lower control arm parallel to the ground.

That's not a bad idea, I'm just not sure if that is indeed enough to bring them parallel.
Right now I'm having my mechanic try to get in contact with jwrodgarage about their MII setups and trying to troubleshot it.
Hi! this a a universal kit right, who welded the crosmember and top hat in, they may have welded the top hat to far up in relation to the cross member. can you take pics from the engine bay and wheel well showing the top hat.
That may very well be drop spindle. I don't know by looking at a Gm spindle. But it is higher than the original usually is. How tall are the tires, or what are the sizes up front ?
Those are torque thrust 17x8s with Nitto P235/ 40R17RE
Hi! Your top hat location is similar to mine, but they weld then in square without anti dive angle. I don’t know how important it is but most kit call for a 3 degree anti dive angle for the top hat. I noticed that you have an AOD Trans witch is 75 pound heavier than my T5. So you have a bit more weight on your front end them mine. What is the spring rate on the new springs?
