Re: Rear Springs

[Nico Over <nover@xxxxxxxx>]

Ollie,can't really help you there as I have not adjusted ride height nor do I
have the front clip on yet but measuring from just in front of the driver's
side front K member bolt the height of the frame rail to ground is 14 3/8"
using a 205/60/15 front tire. Hope that helps. Nico

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
