New springs ride height question
I installed my new Moog springs tonight. Thanks to everyone that provided the part numbers. My question is what should the gap between my tire and fender be? It is 4 1/2 inches after settling from 5 1/4. I know it will probably settle more but, what is the factory height?

Hey, Bingo,
Did you ever find an answer to your question? I've read, but have no personal experience, that stock ride height is 27 1/2. What's yours currently?

I cut half a coil out. I will measure when I get a chance. 27" after settling.
