I would like to adjust the height of the back end in my car by about 1/2" or so. I had the Steeda Billet Weight Jacker Arms installed, and the car sits a bit lower in the back now than it did before the install. I suspect the springs have now settled, as well as the new isolators that I put in.

I have been looking at the arms, and it is not obvious how to adjust them, at least, I am drawing a blank as I look at them.

Anyone who has these arms, or knows about them, please walk me through how to raise the back end up a touch. I just want to be double sure that my 315s will not rub on the fender lip.

Thanks in advance.

never seen a pair of them in my life in person but from what I read there's a 1/2" say socket you use to raise or lower the spring seat area.

The adjustable spring seat allows you to raise or lower the rear of your Mustang up to 1 inch with just the turn of a standard 1/2 inch ratchet. Plus, Steeda went the extra mile by using a roller bearing assembly on the spring seat to make adjustment even easier.

just find the 1/2in bolt located at the bottom of the LCA (middle of the spring perch) and start turning.

Use a half inch ratchet and a short extension if needed (no socket is required on the threaded rod for the height adjustment), make sure you loosen the lock nut (a socket can be used for this but I use a wrench) before adjusting and then tighten it when you are done. I use a couple drops of locktite on the lock nut just to be sure nothing will change after I make an adjustment.
