Rear Suspension Height (Floor To Arch Height)

[nickaliath 22]

Hello all,

 

Does anyone have a measurement for the rear suspension height from the floor to the arch?

 

just want to find this out before i adjust the rear suspension level.

 

Thanks

I can measure mine if it helps. Alhough it's presumably standard height, a lot can happen in 23 years and a couple of beam rebuilds.

 

I'm sure someone will have the correct height noted, although many set the height with a dummy shock/piece of wood with 2 holes in.

The damper length method is the best way of setting the rear ride height. 322mm is good for standard.

As above - dummy shock 322mm between centers. Measuring off the arches is ill-advised as they're often different side to side!

Yeah, i did measure this when it was being rebuilt. Although it was out about 5mm on one side, which ive recently found out can alter height by 15mm!!!

 

Oh No. LOL.

 

Just need a rough height to the arch, Just so i know where to adjust it too.
