that is LOW..... i used to have that height... it's -25 MM low down.
terrible to get around.. very bad scratch at the bottom on speed bumps.

if urs is adjustable, push it higher by 15 MM. easier to drive around and better cornerring as well

yeah, i always did the tennis ball trick... if it cannot roll under, then you need to set it accordingly

It is really too low. especially in the back. Maybe this weekend I will have some time to raise it up a bit. Id like to get some 18's on it, but Ive decided to funnel the majority of my extra cash into the truck.

and I did set the ride height prior to installing. I just set it way too low.

It looks like a redneck farm truck now, but give me a few years!
