    Hey guys I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what the height of the rear of their highboy coupe or roadster is in the back running an unlocked up frame with a t spring.
     
  2. Where do you want the measurement to come from?

    Next week I'll have the front hubs on, then I'll mount the tires and set it on the ground to get a measurement for you. It's a 30 roadster with a 59ab in it. I put a T spring in the rear. Sorry about the wait, but I just got the bearings for the hubs.
     
  8. This is a 31 roadster with an A spring with 7 leaves. The stock T spring was the same but if you removed a few leaves it would be lower yet. I was afraid it would ride too soft so I used the A spring. Height is 21 1/2 inches at the rear of the body. They sit high but I am building PreWar. 1053.jpg

    Just got it on the ground, from the floor to the rear of the body it's 23 1/8 inches. Thats with the top spring replaced with an A spring, and the second from the top removed. If you need it measured from another spot, let me know.
