If you do crank crank the T bars up or down willy nilly you'll seriously affect the camber and get tire wear so you'll be replacing them now and then. I prefer correct height.

The specks are in the FSM, but!  Ride height can make or break a cars appearance depending on color, wheel diameter, tire profile and a few other factors like trim level and so on.   You can give it a little nose down profile giving it a cocky attitude or nose up with a High & Mighty attitude.  I guess it all starts with what you have done with the rear springs and how you have set that ride height.  But that is the Beautiful Thing about our cars you control the look with a socket and rachet.

 

Any Real Alignment Shop will have all the specifications and the T bar adjustment is included in the alignment.  Another thing to keep in mind, like Ma MoPars tune-up specks for our cars that worked well back then but not so good now because of the fuel and other factors we have to contend with, the alignment specks fall under the same criteria, with drastic changes in tire, shock & bushing technology it's information doesn't really work well on our cars today.  Take a look at this article and there are others out there also but here is a good start.

Just rebuilt my front end.  I wanted to get the front end height adjusted before I head to the alignment shop.   I counted the turns before I tore down,  25 on the right,  27 1/2 on the left.

 

What would be a good height to run with? I checked the book but cannot find the specs for it, just how to adjust it.

 

Thanks
