    Default 35 vs 42 randal plates- ride height difference noticable

    Much of a difference?

    I read that 42s are about 1/4 inch lower than 50 plates, but couldnt find anything on 42 vs. 35.

    for 50 vs 42 I'd say about 1/8-1/4... maybe 3/32?

    50 has been documented at 2.55", and 42 at 2.25", but he's looking for the height of a 35....i've read that it's the same height as the 50 degree plate, but i've never seen a number.
