Default caltracs

Did any of you with caltracs notice a difference in ride height? After I installed them the rear sits up about 1" or more over the stock ride height.

If you are preloading the bars or your overload spring is resting on the trac bar then its normal.

looks like I had the rear hanger bolts tightened too much, and put the spring in a bind
