    Default 2001 lightning front ride heights?

    I've got a copy of a 2001 lightning. I've always ran stock lowers on it, but I put a set of ubm square tube lowers on it this winter. I see on the lightning setup sheet it shows ride heights with a tubular lower, I assume they use round tube lowers. Would it be the same with the square tube lowers? Thanks

    Is there a big arch in the shape of the lower a-arm from chassis mount to the ball joint?

    If I remember correctly the stock Nova lower has a nice arch in it.
    Lightning round tube units, are pretty straight
    On those year cars he measured ride height from a tab in front of spring bucket to top of lower a arm. That is why there is a difference in the ride heights between the two

    I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

    Yeah, these have a bit of an arch. I was gonna set them at the same height I did the stock lowers but wanted to see what others had to say first

    8.375" from floor to center of front lower a arm mounting bolts is good starting point.If on ump tires.
