I just did mine yesterday and it was exactly 1.75".

41.25" stock to 43" ground to bottom of the front fender flare.

My only complaint was that I waited too long to do it! Hands down one of my favorite mods.


It will settle and drop a bit if I remember correctly after a day or two

Mid perch Finally!

I just finished with my mid perch adjustment. Man that was a lot more work than I thought it would be. Took me about 3 hours. 6 beers. A few F-bombs. It looks and drives well. Heres some pics
First pic is before. 2nd is after

What made it tough?

I did mine last Monday, took about 30 minutes to do both sides. (On a lift, me telling a mechanic what to do & helping him, using the RPG video, like it looks like you used). On the lift, we didn't have to disconnect the tie rod or sway bar.

I positioned the strut compressor wrong once. Upside down. Mosquitos were eating me alive. Lol. That was probably the hardest part. Im slow. No lift. No air tools. It was fun after it was all said and done.

I really need some air tools. It would have taken at least 45min off the project time
