Chris: Can't give you any info on suspension travel but following is a
reprint of a message I sent previously regarding ride height:
>From some ancient tech session notes (1978) I extract the following: from
the ground to the top of the wheel opening, BJ8s 28 inches, all others 27
inches. And from my Drake manual: height over scuttle 3 feet. Although I
can't find the reference, I seem to remember that this was the measurement
from a point on the center of the front shroud about an inch or two in front
of the windshield, to the ground. I just went out to the garage and using a
yard stick, line level, and tape measure, find that my BJ8 is pretty close
to that.
