Bob,
Proper ride height for the chrome bumper B is 13.5
inches measured from the centre of the wheel to the
bottom edge of the chrome trim strip.
I have heard that it is best not to judge the ride
height until the new springs have been in use for at
least six months.
If it looks too high at the front, just fit new rear
springs and it'll be too high all round ;-)
