68 Charger Factory Ride Height?

Looking for factory ranges for correct ride height, also the correct place to measure the height. I was using the middle of the fender lip to the ground centered on the wheel.

Its in the fsm and I don't have one handy to tell you the spec just now.  I do remember though that its measured from the bottom of the suspension somewhere up front.

You will drive yourself absolutely nuts trying to measure ride heights by referencing the ground.  Too much variation in the tires & ground surface. 

The best way is to measure from the wheels or suspension to the car chassis.     


Truly "stock" has the front end higher than you'd expect.

Why wouldn't you just set the height where you want it to be at?

I followed the FSM. I found the correct height and made a gauge from wood coffee stirrers. Then adjusted, bounced the car/drove and rechecked till spot on. My carport is fairly level and flat so tape marks were used to put the car back in the same spot over a few days.
