Ride Height

What is the definition of ride height when installing the must 11 front end ??? it keeps saying in the directions to make sure the truck is at ride height or parallel to ride height. Right now its on jack stands!!! Thanks DJ

I think they mean the height it will be when finished and on the ground laden with the normal vehicle weight. On jack stands does not count. That's my best guess. Good luck, John

What I did is make adjustable threaded bars that take the place of the shock absorbers and they are adj. till the a-arms are parrallel to the ground, did the rest of the suspension engine and trans and rear then put the spring with an engine in place and the truck sat with the springs and shocks with the a-arms parrallel to the ground as it is supose to. That is then the ride height. To the bumper with mustII about 5in to bottom of bumper
