Height after lowering...
Hey guys, I was wondering if you could tell me what height (from center fender/quarter panel down to the ground) you all have after lowering on stock bolts. Please also mention if you cut the bushings or not. Thanks!

26-7/8 front nothing cut,27-7/8 rear stock equipment
Note: I am a little perplexed why mine is so much higher than others here after lowering.
I think tire size has a bearing on this also...
I measured also from ground to frame( beyond where the fiberglass rocker panel rolls,right to the frame.. because that will give you almost 1'4 " less),front and back,
I got 4-11/16" front ..5" rear

Think you should raise the back a little.
What wheel/tires combo do you have??

thanks guys, mine's sitting at 26 7/8" in the front (didn't cut bushings) and 27 7/8" in the back (stock bolts). I'm still debating lowering the front some more by cutting the bushings, got to check with the dealer to see if it will void my warranty...

How is your ride quality as far as comfort and smoothness with you front bolts out? Did you put anything between the spring and your lower A-arms? Any noise?

I haven't noticed any difference in the way it handles. The guy who did it put a piece of rubber between the springs & A-arms. No noise.
