Re: height difference

The front wheel wells are higher than the rear, I think normally by at least an inch. I have seen 1/2 - 1 inch variation side to side on the two trucks I have dropped. The variation can be from the springs, body mounts, tires, etc. Without the before drop measurements it's a bit of a challenge to determine the amount of drop. Gues the important thing is if you are happy with the results.
