How do you have your Steeda bars set?

Middle setting. Highest setting is too close to shifter cart land. On perfect roads that may work, but not in Indiana.

I think some ask where I mounted my cans?

Steve I know you have Ford Racing axles did the boot on the axles rub against the coil spring when you had no wheels on
The car?

No. I've been asked this a couple of times lately. It is close, but I've got approx 3/8 clearance on both sides work no marring or marking on the boot or shaft. It's close but they don't touch

The BMR stuff likely helps here. With the cradle lockout and spherical bushings there is little to no movement.

How much preload do you have on your rear?

How much preload do you have on your rear?

Are you wanting a measurement from the spring collar to the top mounting point?

How much preload do you have on your rear?

Probably just poor understanding on my part but to get preload I thought you had to have the corner weights for each tire then calculate using Hooke's law. I thought compressing the spring more or less would not affect preload due to the constant or static spring rate. In other words, if it's a number you're looking for I'm not sure. I can get measurements.

Actually from the collar to the bottom black ridetech decal.

I'm away from the car now. May be a while but if you still need it I'll get it as soon as I can.

I think we got it figured out but I was talking about how much preload was on the spring which sets the ride height

I'll measure when I get home. I know what you're talking about now.

I ran home real quick (party at a neighbors) and measured. Mine are at 2 5/8 as you can see in the picture

Thanks
that must be close to stock ride height?
