    There’s a fella over on the barn looking for the factory ride height spec for a Customline. I thought it was in the manual, but damn if I can find it. Tried a search here and in general and no luck.

    Can anyone with a stock (yeah, I know) 55 give me a height to the center of the tail light and headlight? Thanks

    Real ride height is measured at the frame rails. The frame should be parallel to the ground thru the flat area at the firewall to where the front of the rear spring perch mount.
    Rear springs all have sag after a year of being new and so o the fronts but not as quick. Hope you can get good numbers .

    I think there would be a difference in the original ride height of a car equipped with a 6 cylinder or a V8. HRP
