Well replaced control arms with steve F rebuilt arms. Checked ride height before going for an alignment. FL down 2" FR down almost 3". Porkchop adjustment bolts look like 2" more adjustment left. My question: Is this enough to pickup the front the required additional height?
Thanks,

George,

IIRC, 6 turns -->1" in ride height. If correct you should have plenty of
threads left. If not, you can buy longer grade 8 bolts, round the end to
fit the socket, and gain a little more adjustment. Do you need to borrow my
torsion bar tool? Ooops! -- it's in Chicago. But if you need it, I'll try
to get it back. Better yet, I think Dixielanders own one; John Richardson
is the keeper.
