Need Help (Focus)

[Ranger Kip]

I am trying to lift the 03 focus se by 1", need help, suspension lift ideas only please.

How high do you want to lift it?

Seriously, I'd look into making spacers for the tops of the struts for the front. The rear...IDK, I havent been under a Focus in a few years.

thats exactly what i was thinking, spacers on top of the strut. if the focus is anything like an escort in the rear, spacers should work there too.

I went and searched for this after reading this. Started to ROFL when I found suspension lifts under Ford Focus. Then I realized the Company was called Focus and it was their catalog for Ford trucks.

what should I use as spacers and how would I install them?

I'd get a few pieces of a good quality hardwood, I prefer teak for its water resistance and its golden brown color, and some zip-ties.

youre gonna have to take stuff apart and figure it out. i dont have a focus at my disposal to use to engineer parts for you. you're pretty likely the first person thats ever tried to lift a focus.

Use washers like we do on Rangers.

 

[Ranger Kip]

I have no idea how to do it period

That is because, in general, you don't.

The only "lift kits" that I can find for the Focus involve adjustable-height air springs. Won't be cheap.
