Re: How do you set ride height?
"I had mine down to bare frame, I knew I wanted to drive mine where it would scrape up the reflectors on the road I also wanted mine with no rake from front to back, I set the frame at 5" off the ground and level from side to side front to back, and welded in some angle iron to hold the frame off the floor this way. I also figured out what size tire I wanted to run in the begining so I have set all the suspension parts to be where they need to be with the height of the tire I am running. For instance, I am going to run a 335/30/20 on the back and that tire is 28" tall, I set my rear end at 14" from the center of the axle to the ground and them welded in my bottom 4 link bars in parallel to the ground. On the front I am running c4 corvette suspension and I set the lower a arms to be parallel with a 26" tall tire. I hope this makes sense, if you are using stock suspension you pretty much need to figure out how low you want to be and clearence everything from there and install a notch, etc, etc, etc... Do some reading on here and it will help more than anything. Good luck...."
Thank You jkade....its starting to make alot of sense when you explain it that way...
I have a set of 20"[245/35/20] / 22"[255/30/22] wheels to use for mock up. I plan on running 22's in front & 24's in the rear. Ill need to find out the diameter of the 24" tire. Right???
