Was wondering if anyone knows what a brand new ACR E ride height is set for off the showroom floor. I know there is 3 inches of adjustment. Was it set to its highest setting?
Was it set in the middle, giving 1 1/2 inches adjustment both ways?
Thanks for any advice for a newbie.

This is a weird question, why are you asking? Nobody knows, there's no set given ride height as far as I know. Only the recommended track frame heights in the manual.
From what I've seen on this forum over the years, they leave the factory with no set parameters, I've seen aliments all over the place, different wing settings etc.
Elaborate a bit and we can help you more!

I’m asking because I would imagine they all come with a specific ride height brand new. It’s hard to believe they are all different. I just bought mine with 2500 miles and the previous owner did not touch anything, splitter and diffuser still in the plastic wrap, so I know mine at least is set to whatever the factory did. Would like to get a baseline if I ever decide to mess around with height adjustment.

Found from a post in 2017 by BlueAdder:
The ACR comes with a ride height of 5" Front and 6.5 Rear (or something close to that). For track purposes, the booklet says: 4" Front (102mm)/ 5.5" Rear(140mm).

That sounds dead on for where mine was when I bought it.

Just measure yours before messing with it.

I know when I got mine, I didn't measure it, but it looked like a monster truck was up way too high. I drive mine on the street (not often) at 3.75" front and 5.25" rear and don't have any issues, just have to hit every driveway/speedbump at an angle and go slow. I run Doug Shelby's extended strakes on the diffuser and they do rub here and there. For looks I'd go somewhere around 4.5"/6" unless you live in New York City or something lol.

Same. Looked rediculous from factory and didn't feel right either.
I tried track height but the dealer couldn't even get it all the way down...didn't matter...was too low for street.
I'd imagine I'm right around your settings now and it's low but as you said manageable. Sometimes the track diffuser extensions will scrape if there's enough crown on the road! Aside from height you want the alignment right too to get that quick turn-in feel...or at least that's what I like.

one would think that they all were set somewhat the same do to the alignments would be all over the place and handle like shit and eat tires/ alignment specs are all the same from the factory on the extreme cars at the spec set hight to the alignment/ change the ride height and your alignment is now changed. so I would think dodge would have them all the same within a human hair

Yeah you would think that but I remember all the stories on here when they first came out alingments, ride heights were all over the place. Even wing settings lol. One guy had the wing set to different settings from left side to the right! LOL
