What's your set up? Ride height will be controlled by several factors.

We recommend at least 5" of ground clearance for a "safe" ride height from the lowest point on the chassis. That distance seems to clear all the AZ road obstacles nicely.

I have a 67 C-10, but thats where I set up my ride height at. I usually ride at that height when Im driving longer distances, such as highway driving. But given the right conditions and a good smooth road that I know well, Ive been known to ride with my frame 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the pavement. Thats the advantage of an airride setup.
