Reply to "Spring height for a Group IV wide body"

panterapattMember

Perhaps this helps you: My car is an early 71, flared with GP IV fiberglass flares from Hall. Running on 15" rims with 345/35-15 rear tires. Shocks are Alden with Gary Hall high-rate springs. The rear spring length compressed on the car measures approximately 8.5". My car sits 3.5" from the ground measured at the back chassis cross-member. The rear lower A arms are nearly parallel to the ground. The rear flare arch opening is approximately 25.75" from ground. I adjusted the shocks to get e this ride height. My springs are very stiff (forget the rates) but there is no way uncompressed they are 12" in length. Alden should know the right sizes for the Pantera as they have been making shocks for the car since early days.
