    No, the bottom of the lower control arms are parallel to the driving surface.

    Cnut/Nick, what size tires are you guys running? I'm looking for mainly diameter I have a set of 84 saw blades and want to mount some tires on them, something close to what I'll end up with. Jason

    When reading the factory GM manual page 2-15 is P1 and P2 referring to the front axle centerline?

    Ball joint as I understand it. However, if you don't have the gage holes then it's of little help to you

    Yes, P1 and P2 are the balljoint centerlines. They really aren't of much use because they aren't dimensioned vertically.
