Re: [Chrysler300] 300H Clearance Difference

Doug,
      This may seem dumb to everyone, but is the tire pressure equal? Switch positions of the cars and see if it's still the same.

  Hi Larry, 

  Thanks for the reply. 

  Would you let me know what the diameter o r radius  of your 14" tire is? 

  A friend has a 62 sport conv. with 14" tires and the radius is 13" 

  The radius on my H tires is 14-1/2". 

  The difference of 1-1/2 " would increase your 9"  measurement to 10-1/2" which is close to the 11" on my H2 .

  Doug, 

  Just for laughs, I went out and measured my 300 Sport, which by the way, was also built in November 1961.  It measured exactly 9" with 14 inch tires, original leaf springs and new original replacement hydraulic shocks.  I'm not exactly sure what this information means, but I thought I would pass it on to you.  I would be interested in learning what conclusion, if any, that you ultimately came to. 

  Good luck with your results,

  Hi Group,  

  I have a 2 inch difference in the height measurement from my garage floor to the horizontal bottom of the rocker panels on my two H's. 
  Both cars have 15" wheels and identical 235-75R-15 tires. 

  H1 was built in April 1962, has new Eaton springs and KYB gas shocks. It has an average height measurement of 9 inches. 

  H2 was built in November 1961, has original springs (possibly re-tempered), and new original equipment hydraulic shocks. It has an average height measurement of 11 inches. 

  Did something in the manufacturing process change from November 61 to April 62?
