The cars up in the air and I never measured the distance from the front eye bushing in the spring to the floor.:sad: I was just thinking about the clearance! If you have the rear lowered 1 1/2" and have slide-a-links or caltracks how much ground clearance do you have?
Thanks

I haven't installed my CalTracs yet, but I know they offer a low profile bracket for lowered cars.

My rear is stock height (man that doesn't read right" and have the slide-a-links instattled. I haven't measured, but the links go down probably 2-3" below the spring. I probably have 6" of clearance so you might be getting a little low.

My hedder flanges are around 2 3/4" off the ground. I couls get by with that. The front is lowered 2" and I have to go over speed bumps sideways. I guess 3" would be fine.

Timing is everything.
I'm in the process of finishing up a rear disc brake install along with the lowered Hotchkis leaf springs which will include Slide-a-Links. Now, I'm concerned about these things being too low to the ground.
My SBC Headman headers hit on speed bumps and certain driveways as well.
I guess I will know this weekend how low they will hang on the car.

Marc, fender lips on my 68 are 27" off the ground. Slide a link front brackets are 3 1/8"
They only hit on the biggest speedbumps. My headers are as low as yours, front crossmember is 2 1/2". I take it easy over speedbumps and driveway curbs, otherwise have no problems.
