Rear Height Adjustment

Hey all,

I'm working on adjusting the ride height on my '75 and wonder what the lowest most people get in the rear without indexing the torsion bars? I'm sure it differs from car to car, but what have you seen with yours?

Without the later rear adjustable spring plates, there is virtually no way to lower it without
reindexing the torsion bars. Sorry, it's a bummer isn't it!

Looks like I'll be reindexing! Usually I support the car on the torsion bar covers, where do you support it when pulling the covers?

Here's where the car sits now. No issues getting the front to 25" but the rear is at 26.5"!

Place your jack stands inboard on the torsion bar tubes
