Are you looking for different heights or a "stock"??

I can post a pick but I have a raised rear.

Mine are/were about 24-24.5" on all 4 wheels.  Tire size F 245/45/17 R 255/45/17

I did add a little to the front to give a little more clearance.

I like my car low, - but will have to raise it a little to get clearance in front..

You won't like what like what I have then but for a comparison I run
215/65/15 up front with 25 inches in center from ground to fender &
255/60/15 in rear with 27-1/2 inches in center from ground to fender

I like a raked look and have a TON of ground clearance - with the roads around here and when they re-surface sometimes I'd catch a collector of the headers on stuff  :pullinghair:

Remember, mopar never speced rear ride heighth. It just was what it was.

In any case, mine is 24" at that location

At 23" front and 23.5" back with 215/70R14 tires all around.  The front suspension is touching the bump stops slightly when it sits there.  Drop spindles if you want to go lower.  This seems to be as low as you can go and comfortably drive the car over speed bumps and such.  I'm using flat leaf springs (XV) and Mancini lowering front hangers, you can probably go 23" in back if your careful.

I just realized you have a challenger and my info probably doesn't compare... assuming Cuda's and Challenger's have different fender lines.  Oh well, sorry for the post.
