Rick,
6" front and rear from the lower lip. Note that my Tiger is no
longer stock. You need "Traction Masters", to keep the rear springs
from winding up. Before I got mine long ago, I bent both shocks
and bradded the u-joint yoke so bad I almost didn't get the u-joint out
. I had a Boss 302 in my Tiger at the time doing autocross with
TERRIBLE wheel hop. With a 351C 4 barrel, slightly hopped up
I have no wheel hop or yokes hitting the body. My rear springs
set almost flat when I am parked.
Jim Barrett Tiger II 531C and others.
