I just lowered my 70 dart off the jack stands, and it has the original 14 inch rally wheels and tires on it. the car seems low does anyone know or can tale a rough ,measurement to the roof of where their car sits similarly equipped?
 
Factory suspension height should be 1 7/8" determined like described in the manual

Bumper height is a little easier to measure, you can see that here
The 1970 Hamtramck Registry "Chrysler Passenger Car Bumper Heights 1965 thru 1976" Page

From Hamtramck for a '70

Nice! Thanks. I think that bumper measurement would identify a "problem".

Yup. Remember those specs are "with a 5 passenger load". So empty it should sit higher than the bumper height measurements listed.
 
I haven't had it on the road in a while, maybe i am just used to it being "up" in the garage. Either on stands or dollies. I just got it turn ley so I can move it under its own power.
