Measuring ride height

A question was asked by keystone if you run radial tires what would be your ride height higher or lower compared to factory specs

I answered that with regard to the suspension settings in post #31 above.

Beyond that I’m not sure exactly what you’re getting at. Just changing to radials doesn’t change the ride height unless you also changed the tire height with the new tires, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with bias ply’s vs radials. If you want to adjust your suspension so the geometry works better with the properties of the radial tires, you would lower the ride height from the factory specs like I explained above. But again, lowering the car also has other consequences, so unless you’re also prepared to install larger torsion bars and offset UCA bushings at the least you may not want to lower the car at all. Riding around on the bump stops all the time is worse than having a less than ideal camber gain curve.

Suspension settings and geometry are ALWAYS a trade off, you have to weigh the consequences against the gains and decide what’s worth it for how you use the car.
