Hi all!
I've seen lots of discussion about ride height issues and references to 1" 2" drop etc, but with all the variables of wheel sizes, tires sizes and spring-engine combos its really hard to know what to do without actual measurment from the ground to the fender lip front and back and if possible see pictures. If you can tell your overall tire diameters and suspension components and the actual measurment to the fender lip I think it would help others see the results. How about it guys?

Hi Tim - Because of all the variables you mention like tire size and sub-frame bushings many of us have taken to measuring from the center of the hub up to the fender lip and giving a few weight related vitals. This eliminates tire size from the equation so you have a better idea exactly what the suspension does... David has set-up a thread where some of us have already started providing the needed info...
