Ride height?

[bmehling54]

Can anyone tell me the correct rear ride height for my 70' Mach 1 ?
I'm looking to replace my leaf springs ( suggestions would be good) and my ride height is 15" drivers and 16" passenger Wheel c/line to wheel arch lip.
I've got 245/60/15's with plenty of clearance and just want a slightly firmer ride, I assume the springs are original and shot so even standard would be a big improvement.


Thanks

I have a 69 Mach..    so not sure if this applies exactly......   Ride height is a preference.  Personally I don't really go for the lowered look.  That being said, I was having issues with the rear floating too much.  But my leaf springs were new when the car was restored 12 years ago (previous owner)..  still had paper stickers showing on them.   BUT, they were 4 leaf, so more appropriate for a coup.  I ended up installing the stock height 5 leaf from CJs.  They call them LS9 in their catalog..  Actually a Scott Drake part. (c5zz-5560-hd)  Night and day difference in handling!!! Firm but not harsh     I'm running 245/45/17 .    It did lift the rear about 3/4"   which is fine for my taste..    Now the measurement from wheel center to lip is 15 3/4.    Hope this helps.       Bill (Just FYI My photo is with the old springs )
