I'm trying to get the ride height and alignment properly set after doing a full front-end rebuild over the winter. I do have a factory service manual and, assuming I am really measuring at the correct locations, I'm currently at 1 3/4" which is 1/8" lower than stock. I am measuring to the extreme lower point of the ball joint and the "rib" directly underneath the torsion bar socket on the adjuster. I think the front-end looks 4x4 height currently. I'm at 26 3/4" from the floor to the fender opening and the k-frame is 7 1/2" off the floor. What is really confusing me is that I only have about 1/2" clearance to the LCA bump-stop which, I would think, should be much greater at my current ride height. If I lower the car to the height that looks right to me, it's practically sitting on the bump-stop. I'm hoping someone can give me an idea what I am doing wrong. FYI, I do intend to shorten the sway-bar links and bolts once I get the ride height ironed out.
