Don't use the distance between the fender and tire as your gauge. They are all off.

Use the distance from the floor to the bottom of the 4 inch round tube frame at the right and left front of the frame as your guides. Make sure they are the same height from the ground.

And if you jack up the front of car slightly, you will be able to turn the seats on the shock absorber shafts by hand enough to adjust the ride height.

And remember, compressing the spring raises the ride height.

Usually 4-4 1/2 inches is sufficient ground clearance in the front to allow the tires not to rub.

Adjust, measure, drive, measure, adjust again. Repeat till you are sick and tired of doing it!
