Does anyone happen to know what the total suspension travel of a 65 chevelle is? If so how about the droop and jounce as well.

Thanks for any help

Well, I can't give you the data for a '65 but this is what I found on my '72. Which the springs and shocks removed am the lower A-arm level with the ground, I had 4.5" of bump and 2" of rebound until the suspension hit the bumpers. Also this is with a tall spindle conversion and Hotchkis upper A-arms.

Maybe this will at least give you an idea.
