    Reversing lowering/camber bolt mod?

    Several years ago I had the front springs cut on my Marauder and had the flags removed and camber bolts installed. I honestly can't remember - Was that the extent of the lowering-the-front mod? Now I have a potential buyer who wants to revert that mod. He is a purist I guess. What would be involved in raising the front back up? Thanks

    New OEM springs alinement and head light adjustment. Easy peasy.

    2003 marauder black 28,000 miles all stock. Garage Queen.

    I cut mine, too. One full coil 18 years ago and it's given about a 2" drop. I have the Carfixer alignment specs and it doesn't eat tires. I'd think new springs will reverse that but can you even find them?? My parts catalog shows left and right springs are the same p/n 3W3Z 5310-AA and obsolete. Those are also specific ONLY to the 03 and 04 Marauder. Not sure what would be compatible or equivalent. The aluminum engine is a substantial weight savings and you'd probably see a much higher than stock ride with other replacements.
