Re: Stock ride height

I measured mine, front and back, left and right and averaged the l&r front and l&r back. Here is what I got. from the center of the wheel straight up to the edge of the wheel opening, front averaged to 14 then you would add 5 1/2 to allow for my 3 inch drop springs and 2 1/2 drop spindles for a total of 19 1/2 stock? The rear averaged out to be 11 then add 5 for the five inch drop springs to get 16 stock? I'm sure this isn't perfect and it sure wasn't scientific but that should get you in the neighborhood anyhow. Of course if you are trying to go back to stock all you have to do is buy new stock height springs then after a year or so they will generally settle by about 1/2 inch to a full inch. Best of luck and I hope my info helped a little...
