Finally got some true measurements on level ground. From the shock tower where the bushing touches to the middle of the lower shock bolt is 21.75". Stock it is 18.5", so 3.25" of lift from the springs. I also measure from the top of the lower spring perch to the edge of the spring perch tower to verify my other numbers and again came up with 3.25" of lift. So, 3 1/4" of lift from 2 inch springs. So far I am pleased with the ride, no noticeable difference from stock in the slower stuff, much improved when hitting larger bumps at speed. As I mentioned before, the hard 'jolt' when hitting bumps is gone. I also realized today that when I took it in, they jacked the tires up to 40PSI, so I dropped them back down to 30PSI and it is much softer riding! Amazing how much of a difference 10PSI can make!
I still have the EVO sliders to weld on, which will add about 90 lbs, and a 3rd row seat when it comes in (not sure of the weight on that). Still hoping to get about a 1/2" to 3/4" of sag out of these to get it closer to the 2.5" mark I want to be at. Anyone know about how long/how many miles before their suspension settled to its final ride height?
