Brad,
Front struts must be stock. Bp class. Cannot get too low or will not have any shock travel. How do you determine the ride height?? Position of A-arms?? If so, parallel to ground or at what angle? Shock travel to stop dimension?? If fender lip - want size tires?? After the front is set do you adjust the rear for level or some amount of forward rake?? Ken |

Ken, its best to ask the question without my name in the actual title. That way you will get several good answers. I have the numbers here at the house.. but I need to leave. Look for a reply later tonight.
The rake is determined by cornerweights.. not by looks. We set the ride heigth and adjust for the cornerweights. b |

I have a question regarding corner weight... what is it? How is this done & for what purpose.
I've heard it mentioned several times with hopes it would dawn on me or just be a common sence thing but no bright light has come on as yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) bruce |

It's a pimp term. Corner weighting is putting more girls in a high traffic area.
I think on cars, it refers more to balancing actual weight with an ass in the seat, and 4 scales. M |

Oh yeah.. I forgot.
20 3/4 on both rears thru the centerline of the wheel from ground to the stock fender lip. 21 7/8 on the right front thru the centerline of the wheel from ground to the stock fender lip 21 3/4 on the left front thru the centerline of the wheel from ground to the stock fender lip This will put the cornerweights very very close for you. I weigh 200lbs.. so it will be a tad different for you. All this is with 3/4 take of gas and the driver in the seat with 205/50/15 Hoosier road race tires. B |
