ever since putting the charger back together , have altered the front end ride height a number of times  ,  
like the look (height now ) just curious to what every one elses is!!  not going by the FSM  way
but from bottom of fender lip to bottom rim lip , not accurate ,  just for fun !
see picture !!  as seeing pictures of different cars , there is a lot of variation or looks like it  :scratchchin:

mines 22 inches & an 1/8"th front  & 21 & a half inches rear    (with  255 / 60 / 15 tires 8 inch wheels , just for referance)

if you get a chance to measure you height , some time !!   , post them up , would be intresting to see  :yesnod:

:cheers: :cheers: :2thumbs:

:popcrn:


thinking about it ! think i should of posted this in the charger general section maybe , cause its not a propper tecnical question  :scratchchin:

I'll have to measure mine when I get home but it will be interesting to know.  It looks lower than fsm but I think its close to spec.

IMHO the easiest way to compare ride heights is by looking at the bottom (horizontal) edge of the fender/rocker panel/quarter, and comparing it to the center point of the wheel.  You can eyeball it and get an idea.

Not exactly sure as my car isn't here at the moment but the front is too low for my liking, the back is perfect in my opinion, which is stock w/265's. Although, I would like smaller rear tires.

The top of the rear tires are pretty well even with the wheel arch and the fronts are sitting about 1/3 inside the wheel arch. It needs to sit level.

Wow an oldie, new car though so I'll have to go measure it and see.

With all of the different wheel and tire combos I wonder if measuring from the lip to the ground might give people an easier reference? :Twocents: :shruggy:
When someone is absolutely 100% sure they know exactly what your problem is and how to fix it, it's time to ask someone else!
