Keith,
There are several ways to measure ride height with a suspended car but I am
trying to figure out a way to measure it with an unsprung chassis. May be a
way with a walking beam frontend. Anybody have an idea they want to share?
With Rose's body shape......I doubt if there will be appreciable lift but
I'd like to know.
