Dependssss on your ride height,my car has about an inch.You dont want it to sit on the frame tho.

I just noticed that my car is pretty much resting on the frame i adjusted it to about a 3/4" gap just not sure if thats enough or not?
You really need to adjust the ride height with your service manual. Its a pain, but once you do it youll be happy. You can adjust a little up or down once its in spec.

My car is only about 1/4" off the rubber bumper. (picture of rubber bumper style attached)
Car rides and drives nice. Doesn't feel harsh like it's pounding the rubber on bumps. But I also take it pretty easy, have hooker headers and a oil pan hanging down pretty low in the front.

Your cars stance looks nice about the same as mine, If i want it to sit lower it is going to be sitting on the rubber stop? seen lots off other darts set up like this but it limits pivot in the LCA? Doesnt seem right to me?

Years ago on my Barracuda I would shave down the rubber a 1/2" to get the ride height lower. It worked but the ride suffered a lot.
Best solution to go lower is buy new dropped spindles but you have to have the 73 and later upper arms and 73 upper/lower ball joints I think.
Here is some
