What is the stock ride height for a BB 1970ss? Is there a place your supposed to measure other than the middle of the wheelwell on both sides?
What ride heights are you all running? I need to find a balance between looks and *destroying* my headers on massachusetts frost heaves. I'm surpirsed they don't have a hole yet. I like the hooker super comps alot, but god, one side has terrible clearance.

Thanks!
Matt

Hi Matt,
I do believe I have a schematic that gives a ride height. It's back home and I'll have to dig it up.

Send me an e-mail to remind me when I get back from my trip to send it to you.

Take care,
Joe

2 7/8" plus or minus 1/2".

That's the difference between two measurements:
1) from the floor to the center of the inner LCA bolt
2) from the floor to the underside of the LCA 1/8" inward from the lower ball joint

Thanks guys..

This thing hasn't been a stocker for years, but my driveway got all goofed up by the weather and didn't resettle. Everytime I come down it, I get a nice scrape surprise.
