Did you measure before?? Mine settled in about 5 days with 130 mile road trip. If your not happy, go back - that's what I did, the guy took the front bolts out - all good now

Here is a different way to view the hieght, the bottom of myca car (under the door rocker paneling) it is about 4 inches off the ground. Maybe a little higher!

Stupid question for all of you:
If I lower mine all the way on the stock bolts, and let's assume that I get a full 1" drop; does this mean that the front air dam will be 1" closer to the road?
It's a PITA getting into/out of my driveway as it is now stock, without scraping the @hit out of that damn thing
but I'm getting tired of the 4x4 look too 
Thanks!!

yes it will be 1 inch closer. My air dam scrapes everywhere but the car looks 10x's better. I've yet to actually scrape anything on the car though.
