Stock ride height vs. 4" lift

Post by rameen »

How do you properly measure ride height, and what are the stock measurement's vs what they should be with a 4" lift? I am needing to set my front ride height on a 84 Bronco with Fox 2.5" coilers mounted in a Solo coiler conversions and the current measurements are as follows:

Bottom of the frame near the body mount driver side: 23.5" vs. passenger side: 23.25"
Door roof seam on driver side: 76.5" vs. passenger side: 76"

It looks as if it set to low but I am suppressed I would need toolbar the coil spring adjuster's by that much?

Thanks, Richard

Those measurements are erroneous due to tire size.

Measure top of beam to bottom of frame up front and top of axle to bottom of frame in rear. Jump under a stock bronco in a parking lot somewhere and compare. I would be curious to know what those dims are on a stock bronco as well.
