      Thank you for the reply. Where do you measure them at on your 09? And maybe some starting numbers?

        We measure under the triangle hole( I think its a triangle) before the bend in the frame rail. lf 5.25 rf 5.5 rr 6 measure from bottom of bar that runs side to side in front of tire, lr measured same place on that side, 5.75 or what height you need to get your lr bite. Do you have an Allen or something similiar to that?

            Your welcome, those ride hts are with the driver in the car. Give Scotty a call when you can and get the updated specs. We have tried the BSB spring and liked it but my nephew now drives and likes the bisuits better. We use the AFCO biscuit now, have tried the Speedway black biscuit, like the x-factor, didn't seem to last as long.

              Okay thanks for the response. On that pullbar, when you are adjusting on the back side of the black biscuit(thats the one in the car), do you just turn the nut until it gets tight? And could you please explain where you measure the front ride heights at?

                Where your frame rail bends behind the front tire and before it turns toward the rear, there are a triangle hole and a round hole. Take the measurement below the triangle hole from the ground to the bottom of frame rail.

                On that pull bar bushing, we just snugged it so the bushing wouldn't turn. Our thoughts were too much preload might split it. That is the bushing Scotty and them were using. Give him a call, we 1st bought a used Allen and he helped us a great deal. Good luck, worth your time to call him.

                  What tire are you running, it can make a difference in ride hts. setting. We're on AR kk704.

                      I just remembered, i have a pull bar out of my old car that has two big poly bushings that i ran in that car. Could i just take one of them biscuits out and put it in this pull bar? If so which way should i put it in?

                        We run the 2 big afco bushings with a washer in between the two. I talked to Scotty today, he said to give him a call, if the answering machine comes on, leave a message and he'll return your call sometime that day. I usually call between 8-9am and 1-2pm. We're not imca racer but alot of Allen cars are. If I can help, let me know.

                              I think it was a 1250 and it did come from Speedway.
