Bought a 92 pickup a few months ago and noticed the upper A-arms are resting pretty heavy on the cracked bump stops. Truck does look higher than stock but really hard to tell with the small tires & does ride pretty hard. It has 28" tires (235/75/15) on 7" wide wheels and measurement from floor to middle of fender is 36.75". Thanks!

Also compare distance from lip of 15-inch rim to lip of wheel-well with others. This will be independent of tire size.

That measurement is about 15", rear is about 14.75". I turned the bolts 3 full turns each and now front is 14.75". Do you know what that measurement is supposed to be out of the factory?

You can look under the truck and see how far the threads are sticking out of the top for your torsion adjustment.

Are the upper A-arms supposed to be resting so hard on the bump stop that that are halfway compressed (and cracked)?

Need to compare measurement above with other members who have stock same year-model trucks.

On a stock truck your control arms are going to be close to level with the ground. The more downward they point the more the bars have been cranked.

The attached file from the FSM shows the official factory way to measure suspension height. This is independent of tire size, inflation, sagging body mounts, bent fenders with missing trim, etc.
