Default Just another front splitter thread....

Guys with front splitters and lowered on stock bolts.....can you measure your clearance up front and post the numbers here? Just one reading in the center is fine. A comparison of the different brands/styles would benefit the forum...thanks!

A measurement where the splitter terminates at the wheel opening would also be good to have.

That looks like it would work for me. 5" is enough clearance. Thanks for the measurement.

This is exactly where my measurements are taken from.

All these splitters jut out front instead of hanging down, the pic above is perfect to show this....

Z51, Magnetic Ride, lowered all the way on stock bolts. View from the side, and the second pic is in the center. Now it makes me wish I had after market bolts and drop another inch:

Do you have the 'curved-lip-bump' driveway entrance? It looks like you do, and that's exactly my problem here. Always afraid of ripping something off before even adding a splitter or lowering.

Car looks great, by the way.

Great video. I'll definitely be ordering from you once I get my '15 in a few months.
