And seeing as you (nsmall) have asked about ride height in a different thread, the above pics of my car have a front fender lip to ground measurement of exactly 24", and I have over an inch of travel available for the short, 3/8" bump stop.
You results may vary? The jigs used to splice these cars together back in the '70's must have had a lot of lee-way built in.  :2cents:
