Looking at my stock suspension on my 3600......my 63 year old springs must be seriously sacked out. No way a rear end flip is possible. I guess I should not complain.......I wanted it low.
Ride height has everything to do with the type of tires you have on the truck. Here's a link to almost every measurement you'll ever need on your truck when it came from the factory plus more fun stuff. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/49index.htm Happy reading! Ken
I agree with what you say about tire size Ken, but the distance between the axle and bumpstop would not change when changing tire size. I was just shocked at the lack of travel in it's current state. Judging from the measurements, if I am reading them correctly I am about 1-1/2" lower than stock due to sag. Interesting.
