'78 GP Stock Ride Height
 
Does anyone know the ride height of a '78 GP with stock suspension? Specifically, from the wheel center to the top of the fender well, front and rear, if possible. I'm tyring to tackle a couple of issues:
front wheel rubs fender on top on full turn, full compression
back wheels are about 3/4 different in height at rest
what the true stock position is so I can determine that amount of drop I want when I redo the suspension.

I'm trying to seperate wear and sag over the years from stock dimensions.

My 78 is bone stock. It's approx 14 1/2" on all four wheels

the specs for ride height are in your factory service manual. Did you check there?

'78 GP Lowered Stance Specs
 
I checked in my manual, but couldn't find it. Maybe I missed it. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone have any pictures/specs of their lowered GPs so I can get an idea of how things look? I'm running 215/65R15s on 15x7,4.25 bsp Rally IIs. The drive train is a 400 w/ TH350.
