What should the rear height be and where do you measure from? My 68 Dart looks like its sagging to me but when I look at other members pictures the are all over the place. I'm sure there worn out just from the age but trying to get an idea where it will ride with new ones..Thanks!
New leaf springs?

You could measure from the bottom of the rear end adjacent to the springs. Make sure that all tires are properly inflated. If someone had installed Super Stock leafs, there will always be a height difference between left and right. However, all springs will eventually sag, maybe one side more than the other. You could use shims to make up the difference.
I'm sure it is the wrong way to measure but I went off the wheel well lip and it's only 21 inches to the ground down the center of the wheel on both sides. Tires seem up in the wheel wells compared to other photos. Trying to figure out how high the back will/should sit with decent springs.
