What is the proper way of setting front ride height? Is there a standard distance from the LCA bumper to the frame, or anything else that should be taken into account?

FYI: I'm getting ready to weld on a couple tabs for a front coil over conversion on my 66 Dart and want to make sure I order the correct shocks.

Here are the shocks I used 10" and a picture of them installed but I did not use the upper blocks I welded a tube it the upper cross member and I also moved the lower mounts out further.

Do you happen to have the part # or length of the shocks?

Also, do you still have the upper blocks?

Lastly, how much front end travel do you have?

The shocks I used are 122-ddr4855b QA1's I have almost full travel on them about 4" the car sits higher then I want but I have oil pan ground cleance isues. It will go lower, perhaps I can take some more picture's of it now finished.
