It looks like it's sitting almost exactly in the middle of the coilover stroke, so that's perfect ride height. Agree with everyone that it looks perfect as it
Almost. The back is pretty equal but I couldn’t get equal travel on the front without removing the front fenders. The front is 5” up and 9” down.
 
Here are a few side shots for comparison…

That doesn’t look like the neighbors driveway…

My Cruiser goes in for some work tomorrow. 3” single exhaust and maybe some a/c work. I put 150 miles on it this weekend running errands, including 25+ trips to the hardware store.

I also drove it up to my Dad’s house, which is 30 miles away. He is the original owner and he got to be the first person to go for a ride since the light refresh.

The bathroom remodel should be done in 3-4 weekends, then I will hop back on the Cruiser.

…yes, that is another ‘78 Cruiser under the tarp. It’s my brothers.
 
I got the Cruiser back from Altitude Speed and Fab and they did an excellent job on the exhaust, and I had them finish my intake and do some engine tuning. It ran great until I filled it up with fuel and learned that the tank breather must not be big enough, but that is for another day. It started surging about 10 minutes after filling the tank 🤔
