Run out to the garage with your yard stick and measure from the ground to the paint, (sill) where the arch starts, just in front of the rear wheel. I'd like to know how much further down this rear suspension is going to go.

Thanks
 
Looks like about 7" from ground to the start of the arch in front of the rear wheel. Tunebug is up on skates right now and a little hard to get at, but I was able to measure and subtract the height of the skates. I'll be working on the cars later today, so should be able to double check this later on.
 
Ahhh, thanks. I have 10" at the moment, but no engine, tranny, interior, spare tire or fuel and of course the springs were apart and painted. Soooo I guess all is good.

Thanks Drew.
 
I'm sure my springs are quite tired, as well. I've got 155/80 tires on the car as well.
