Default C-4 Supension Check

Anybody know how to check suspenension travel on C-4 96? Anybody know of any numbers say you raise the front end how much are the wheels suppose to drop down? I thinking mine not dropping right or binding..Rides good handles great a little ruff not bad..A 96 with 86 Z-51 stuff poly ect. new shocks all new stuff..The problem is over sharp bumps with a down hill right after , the front wheels off ground... That's on the track at about 80-100 mph. Everthing looks right rides good but something just not right..Seames that the rebount is slow..Had some C-5s and 6s behind me thay did not have the same problem . I think I ran out of know how on this...Thanks

Ok guys I know somebody out ther knows something about C-4 supension travel on the c-4s... I guess it called repound . The going over bumps great it's the comeing down part that's not good or something maybe it's to stiff the repount is limited or something . if there is a sharp drop off the wheels stay in the air and not that much fun ..Haveing wheels off the ground at 100 not that much fun . Stiff stuff maybe that's the way it's going to be... I just trying to get a handle how much the wheels should drop down i don't think I have the right amount of travel....
