We have a nickel gap on both sides and run the Calvert (Rancho) rear shocks on the full tight setting with 275 Drag radials. It's been 1.36 60 ft. It really needs better shocks going forward and I have them for the rear but no the front yet.

How did you arrive at that height, what did you ask for? It's been many years since I bought a set, but Calvert used to ask you what ride height you wanted when you ordered springs. You could choose stock height, -1", or +1". I initially ordered -1" and it sat too low for my liking. Only the rear half determines the ride height and they swapped them out for no charge. 6pkrtse...that's a good looking group right there!
