I think so. Yet another reason not to measure ride height based on body work.

I'm about 125mm to the front of the front jacking puck holes, and about 132mm to the rear of the rear jacking puck holes.

Measuring to body panels isn't the best method. When adjusting setup and 'leveling' my C6 (from a dead level drive-on lift) I measure up to a hard frame point near each of the oval frame slots....each point looks to be an oval rivet head.

Measure from the ground to the frame where the a-arms attach is the best place for measurements

or from the ground to the frame in front of the front jking puck holes and behind the rear jacking puck holes.

Fenders in many cases are not even.
