Ride height specs do you mean, or ? Those are in the FSM, but I always just adjusted them to the height I liked. Just tighten or loosen the adjuster and bounce the car around to settle it (or run it up and down the street) until it sits how you want to suit your wheels,etc (unless you go off of the factory settings)

Yep....was it aligned ? And just what is wrong with the ride...does it bounce, wonder down the road, etc ?
I put 17's on my old Ute (like an A body) and drove just fine...with just old front end parts. If your's is new and in correct shape, should be pretty good.

Excessive wandering when you hit bumps is a common sign of bad LCA bushings. Other things too but bad LCA bushings will make for a wildly wandering ride. When you adjust the front end height be sure to loosen the LCA pivot and bounce the car to release the tension on the bushings. Then tighten the bushings with the car on the ground at the adjusted height. If you don't release the tension it can cause premature bushing failure. Hope it helps.
