Abstract: A kit and method for raising the static height of the front end of a vehicle having independent front wheel suspension while substantially retaining the suspension geometry of the front wheels. Pairs of bracket adaptors and modified upper control arms of a length shorter than the factory control arms are used. The bracket adaptors interfit with factory brackets and facilitate the attachment of the inboard ends of an A-frame upper control arm with a pivot axis at least about one inch lower and at least about one inch outboard of the factory location. The inboard ends of each modified upper control arm are suitably pivotally linked to the bracket adaptors, and the outboard end is conventionally attached via the upper ball joint to the spindle plate.
