Jrsjea, this is the approximate ride height I am looking for.
The ideal "at rest" would be a clearance of 5" - 5 1/2" from the ground to the bottom of the k-member. With about 3 1/2" - 4" of total suspension travel, meaning 1/2 the distance in either direction from a static position.
There are only a few ways to make this type of set up actually work:
1. Buy a universal kit, measure dozens of times, cut, modify and tack for mock up. Then fully weld as soon as desired geometry and ride height is attained
2. Convince a builder/manufacturer to build a system based on specific parameters, which they more than likely do not have a jig for or they would advertise it.
3. Build from scratch and slowly modify to obtain derided gemoetry.
I am going to start with #2 and call Bill as soon as I hav some time open up, probably going to be next week.
