What is your ride height?

With the composite rear spring thread showing it's ugly head I was just wondering what everyone’s front and rear ride heights are.
Mine is 28 1/4 front and 28 1/2 rear. I measure from the floor to the highest point on the wheel well lip.
I have VBP 330# composite spring in the rear and VBP#550 coils up front.

I have the same rear spring and the VB&P mono spring in the front on my '79. I have roughly the same ride height....with a full tank of gas. My car raises almost a full inch in the back when the fuel tank is empty.

I guess I need the 550lbs springs.... PigPen: 26 1/4" ??? That's awesome, mine is 2" higher than yours and I already cut 1/2 coil off the springs (460lbs)

Front 245/60/15 - 27.5
Rear 275/60/15 - 28.5

The front is as low as the QA1's will go and I had to raise the back to avoid bottoming out the tire in the fender well.

New coils front new 9 leaf rear and new body mounts and car not moved yet, 29" at all four openings. As soon as the weather gets better I will drive her and see if she settle down any.
