I installed new bushings and shackles, etc...
I need to notch my oil pan for clearance. (I'm doing an engine/trans swap.)
Anyone have the frame to ground height or spring to frame height?
I'm trying to figure out the appropriate ride height and bumpstop gap.

I don't think it really matters if it's a 3100 or 3600 truck, since they use the same springs.
The 54's use a different style bump-stop, so the measurement from behind or in front of the U-bolts is ideal.
Any help appreciated.
Chris. | | |
