Hi guys what is the correct ride high for a 69 big block CHARGER

I have just poly bushed all the car and fitted all new ball joints, torsion bars,shocks and springs. No problem so far But the front of the car is now up in the air

have i wound the torsion bar adjust bolts in too much

what should the height be from the floor to the k member

I can not find it for looking

Measure from the rear of the outer sill to the ground and the front of the outer sill to the ground. Adjust the front height until it's level, that's as high as you want to go. Lower the front a little if you want but don't forget to adjust the toe-in when you are finished.

cheers

for that, so if the bottom edge of the rocker panel is the same height front to back the car is at the right height and if it looks to high at the front i can wind out the bolt to drop the front but only a little

i will let you know what happens

Also , the FSM will give you specific measurements measured via the LCA.

Chances are that the rear is not at a stock height due to the springs and tyres so just adjust the front so that it looks right to your eye.

HOWEVER!

Be aware that if you adjust one bar at the front it also effects the height at the opposite corner at the rear.

So make sure you are on a flat surface and check you are getting the same height on each side at the rear as well. Check out how much tyre is under the arch. You don't want it to be lop-sided.

And jiggle the suspension at all four courners after every adjustment to settle it.

Thank you guys it is now sorted

I have 9"1/2 from the rocker panel to the floor on the front and 10"1/2 from the rocker to the floor on the rear. I hope this is right

as it looks real good

As i have 235/60/15s all around and it has a nice rake to it but not silly like some i have seen

Thats all you get for now
