About the Quick-Lift kit fitting a 97 Contour - please email me a couple pictures from different angles (not all looking down - some from the side so that we can determine height).
Just from the one picture, my initial feeling is that the kit will work fine. You might just have to slightly flatten the ridge before drilling the hole. This can be done a variety of different ways - or the ball stud can be mounted slightly off center toward the inside edge of the fender.
Email us with the images and we'll work with you directly.
Thanks, RedlineTuning.
