Front ride height is adjusted by the torsion bar adjusters on the back of the lower control arms. Once that height is changed you will need to have your vehicle's alignment readjusted.

You can follow the factory strategy, and set the height of the inner arm pivots (see the illustration from the factory manual).
You can do it by eye, high or low, and constrained by interference of wheels and tires with fenders or other fixed parts. You can do it by alignment specs, especially camber and caster, with stock struts or modified sruts. Or ??? |
