Height Measurement

HEIGHT MEASUREMENT

CURB HEIGHT

NOTE: The suspension is non-adjustable.

The vehicle suspension height should be measured before performing wheel alignment procedure. Also when front suspension components have been
replaced. This measure must be performed with the vehicle supporting it's own weight and taken on both sides of the vehicle.

Front and rear curb heights are not adjustable. The spring selections at assembly determine curb height for acceptable appearance of the vehicle. Curb
height dimensions assume full fluids (including fuel) and zero passengers. Refer to the table below for front curb height dimensions.

Vehicle curb height audits should be performed utilizing the following procedure:

1. Drive the vehicle straight and forward on a non-tacky surface for a minimum of 20 feet to neutralize track width.
2. Bounce the front of the vehicle five times.
3. Measure and record the dimensions

4. Front - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance from the center of the front lower control arm bushing bolt (1) to the ground (3) Record

the measurement. Next measure the distance from the spindle center (2) to the ground (3) Record the measurement. 

5. Take the two measurements and subtract them to get the curb height specification.

REAR CURB HEIGHT

Rear curb height is defined by the relative vertical distance between the top of the lower spring seat strike surface and the bottom of the jounce cup (true
metal to metal jounce travel). This is to be measured vertically inside the coil from the point intersecting the inboard edge and the for/aft center of the
jounce cup (1) down to the strike surface (2).
