Raising car

[Roadart]

My 72 dart has sway bars(put on by p/o. It appears he also lowered the car some. I like old school lifted look. It has a 73 dart front and rear suspension,with 15" wheels. Can the car be raised some ? I know lower handles better,but I do not plan on drifting etc.Just normal daily driving There are 4 leafs in the rear springs.Any thoughts?

Raise it just like any other car. Crank up the bars, get some new leafs in the back.

After cranking in the adjusting screws on the lower control arms, a 3/4" socket. You will need to re-align the front end.

and then take it easy in the turns until you learn the new limits.; that sway bar can only do so much.

And lift the weight off the front suspension before adjusting the torsion bars to make it easier to turn the adjusters and prevent possibly stripping the threads.

75 slant - do you just jack the car up?

Yea just put a jack under the k-member and jack it up. And use jack stands for safety
