level ?

[66skylarkpost]

hello , over the last couple months i have been tearing my 72 shortstep aprt and replacing suspension parts , sandblastings and por 15ing stuff . i been swaping out diferent front coils and two different lowering blocks . my question is ,"where would we measure level at ? the wheel well above the tire or the body line ?" . i had it last last level at 29 inches at the wheel wells , but around an inch higher at the body line at the rear . measured on the fender behind tire and in front of the tire at the rear . what i have now is 275/60-15's with new cpp 2 inch front springs , and an older set of their 3 inch rears with a 1 1/4 block and ece deluxe track bar adding another quarter . i only haul my two man 10 foot boat in the summer , less than 200 pounds with all the gear . i dont want it to sag . i have some 1 inch blocks i want to put back in , giving me a 1/4 back , i hope . i know now i lay a level on the bed rails and theres a slight incline to the rear . anyway , its how it looks to me . ive got a 455 buick in it, with and aluminum intake, with the stock four speed .in the next couple weeks i am swapin in a 400 turbo , i am not sure of the weights . i plan on pulling out my electronic race scales and weigh it first before i tear anything off. i have a a/c cab i restored and plan on chaning in the future so i can hanlde the front being high mow ,, but not too much. thanks -steve
