Thanks for the 6 turn info to both of you two Ken. Approximate is close enough at this point. I already understood the concept that Jim mentioned. He covered it well. The thing is. I knew that I was 1 inch low on each side before I changed my front Knucklas. So now I can take the load off of the adjuster bolts. Turn the adjuster bolts in the 6 turns. And test drive. Your info just saved me a lot of time over the trial, and error method. Great place to start. And that was what I was looking for. And thank you Jim for explaining it so others will understand the concept. Something to add to Jim's comments. Get you rear ride height correct before checking the front height, and weight loads on each side. All this must be correct before a good alignment can be done. Mine is getting aligned Weds.

The alignment wasn't required due to the knuckle change. The alignment was required because I put in upper offset rubber bushings in the A frames. New upper ball joints. Plus some other new components up front.
