Default Ride Height higher.

Its an 07, Z51.
I need to get the front lower air difuser up. I need more clearance between the diffuser and the pavement.
Now its 2 3/4" from the pavement. Less than 3 inches.
Useing the stock leaf spring bolts how much clearance from the pavement to the plastic difuser can I get?

Thanks

Just crank up the bolts and see where it takes you. It takes 15 minutes.

Or ... you can do what I did and remove all 3 sections of the air dam and throw them in the trash.

And for those folks that will tell you that this air dam directs air into your radiator, that's bullshit ... and the engine don't run hotter either
