Stop in for a cup of coffee

If he lowered it, did he do spindles or did he just lower it via the torsion bar adjusters? I'd bet he just messed with the adjusters. Get a 3/4 in socket and raise them back up. Might find that they clear at factory height
Possibly, but with the width of that tire in pic, I suspect it will still be too close.
The car should be re-aligned after changing the height.
