Newbie- rebuilt front end Need correct ride height

[reystoke]

Heellloo and (help),

Newbie here , 1975 620 truck

longtime mechanic.I have replaced all the bushings in the front end

and adjusted torsion bars as per 74 factory manual and front is too high.

I need stock ride height measurement ( distance from ground to top of wheel well or opening. Could not find in factory manual

Any help greatly appreciated

 

Thanks,

turn torsion bar bolt in middle of the truck.

there is 2 of them.

 

youll see 2 long bolts. At the end of the bolts there will be 2 nuts. One is a Jam nut. then turn the bolt. YOu might need a wrendch to hold the upper nut .

Thats it. Then Lower it till the fender is even with the rim(Yeah baby get it that LOW)

I measured my 74 and 78 and they were both at 28 Inches.

My 76 FSM list factory ride height. Measure the height difference between the two lower control arm pivot points, inner and outer. Actually four mount points when you consider both sides of the truck. Spec is 78-82mm difference. 3.073"-3.230". Seems tall to me, but i like them low. Good luck.

Does that make sense?
