Thanks Kwick8racr. So it should be OK to take it to the last thread, talking about the rear end. Would you know how much to turn to get about 1/2 ".
My front end dip down about 1/2" after the SC install.

Bob, you will have no problem going to the last thread, as far as how far for a 1/2", its hard to say, because some vettes come from the factory at different heights, I would just crank them all the way out, with the bolt showing maybe one thread, and drive it and see where it settles, the rear is easy enough, if its too low, you can adjust from there. :cheers:
