I've read that the stock height for my Dart is 54", but my car was lowered by a PO and I don't know how much and it seems to measure out to 54" total.
Can anyone tell me what the height should be between the ground and a specific point on the car? I could also post a picture of the axle and wheel and measure the block if we can figure it out that way.
Between age and lowering, I'm not sure where this thing is supposed to be sitting.

Thanks guys, and have a good one!

oh I love it, except for the fact that there are some driveways that just ain't gonna work. i'm really just curious how far it's been dropped, because the PO didn't know.
just want to know everything about my car.

Did not find the height of a convertible but a sedan is listed as 55.9 inches.
If the front suspension has not been modified, you might try setting the ride
height using a tire with the stock rolling diameter. Then level the door sill or
rocker panel. You should then be real close to the original height. Some one
on the forum should be able to give you the diameter.

edit: most of the small dodges have a ground clearance of 5.1 to 5.4
inches when loaded. there may be a tag on the drivers door or frame
which gives the load rating. If not, you will need to find an owners manual.
