Do you not worry about your suspension hanging if you store your car on it? I have coil over’s and if I were to store my car on it, the suspension weight would hang on the shocks. Is that not a concern?
TIA

The Shelby has about 3.75" at the lowest to work with. Heres what I did. I purchased two 10' 2x6's that I use to get the clearence height, those are actually 1.75 inches thick. I went to the farm store, purchased a horse stall matt which is heavy duty rubber, around .75" thick. I cut the matt 6"x11' which not only gives me .75 more height, it makes a .75 1" leed ramp so your not trying to jump up on the entire ramp height AND it keeps them from shifting when you drive on it. Since your front wheels are on the rubber part first and its attached with screws to the 2x6's they will not move. You will have 20bucks in the boards and about 30 in the matt. You can finish the boards as you wish for a better appearance. The suspension on that car is not fully extended as to having the weight on the shocks, im not sure how your car is built. I am not sure of the exact lowered height but the spec's are on the link page I posted. Trust me, you will love it!
