Those numbers are kind of ambigious without knowing how tall the tires are.

I would think it would be more important to know how much "gap" was between the fender lip and tire than total distance....

I lowered mine on stock bolts and got similar #'s. I wanted more, so I took out front bolt, put longer ones in rear. Now front is 25.8" and rear is 26.9".
