Ride height needed

[71_Challenger]

Hey guys... I'm new to the forum but not new to E-bodies or the mopar world. I just recently installed a disk brake set-up on my 71 Challenger. Just got it back from the alignment shop and the front end looks too low. Can anyone give me the height from the fender to the ground on a factory height challenger?
Second question is what size tires are you guys running on your e-body? I have 235/70/15 and the alignment guy recommended i change the tire size up front to something a little bit smaller. I thought this was a proper size tire. Any help/advise you could give is always appreciated. Thanks!

235 / 60 is more common for the front , fender lip around 24" seems to be about average , I like it set lower

Thanks for the suggestion. I went with the 235/60 and I'm waiting to have them mounted. Looks like it will fit much better.

What about the rear right height? Just put new KYB shocks but I think I need new leaf springs. About what height should the rear be around?

The front end height isn't measured by the fender lip. It's the difference between the torsion bar socket to ground measurement and the LCA to ground measurement. If you set the front end height using that factory method, the front end will be way up in the air. Just get your ride height where you think it looks best. Make sure you have clearance between the LCA bumper and the frame. The front end height needs to be set BEFORE the alignment.
