I posted this topic a few weeks ago and it kinda fizzed out... Does anyone know the distance between the frame and the ground up front "by the bumper" on a 51 3100 ? I just finished installing a IFS with stock spindles, along with a 350/700R and I was wondering how close to stock height I am


Some people are like Slinkies, Their not really good for nothing... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Todd,
Not sure if you got my email or not, I measured mine and it was 6.5 inches, I am talking about the distance between the frame and ground grin of course.

I gave you my reply, however,you had two separate posts for the same question

Take your measurements from my location and see how yours match.

I got 14 1/8" that's not to bad, I wanted to stay close to stock but I can live with a couple inch's lower. I was also told that after about 100 miles the springs settle down another inch or so ??
Thanks
Todd
