Riding Height

NOTE: Before making wheel alignment adjustments, make sure front riding heights are within 1/8" of each other.
  1. With vehicle on level surface, fuel tank full and no other load, jounce both front and rear until suspension settles. Place 2 height blocks 5" high between top of axle and outside lip of jounce bumper on each axle.
  2. Measure clearance at inside of spring seat lower surface (toward center of vehicle) between top of axle and spring seat lower surface. If clearance is not correct, height must be corrected by installing proper springs or shims.
Fig 1: Setting Riding Height (Axle Gap) Front riding heights must be within 1/8" of each other before adjusting.
