Bump stops

I have a 56 with the Volare front clip, I am trying to set the ride height, The lower control arm bump stops are missing and new ones are not available, With the wheels hanging do I measure from bump stop that mounts on frame to the control arm or to torsion bar bracket, The measurement is 1 1/2 to 2 inches?
Thanks

The bump stop, if you had it, would hit on the top of the torsion arm bracket where it bolts to the lower control arm. So measure to the torsion arm bracket. The stock bump stops are only approximately two inches tall.

Thank you very much for the info. I found the measurement for the bump stop, They are 1 9/16 high so I will compensate for them, Thanks again.

Try these...Moog-K7293 for the uppers, the lowers look fairly common I am not sure where I got mine but they were available not too long ago.
