Need Some Help

I need some dimensions from a 29U 4 door owner. 

My car is back on the ground after the front end work.  The car is now sitting square left to right which I feel was a major accomplishment for my old car.  However I think the car sits to high in the back and I would like to compare some average measurements from another 29U 4Door sitting on a reasonable level road surface or garage floor.

First:  The height of the Front Bumper assembly Bolt (center of Bolt to Ground)



Second:  The height of the Rear Bumper assembly Bolt (center of Bolt to Ground)
Third:     The distance between the rear shackle pins from center to center.



Many Thanks,  Chet...

I can take some measurements when I get home (traveling now for work), but since my frame is slightly bent, not sure my measurements would be useful.

John,

I think slightly bent is Par for the course.  I am trying to get mine as square as possible before I work on the wood framing.   It seems to me as the wood framing weakens the steel frame twists a bit.  Also as the leafs rust together the frame takes more unbalanced movement across the four support springs.  Just my theory.

Good luck with the business trip, Chet...
