Would you happen to have or be able to measure your fender height from the ground at each wheel? I am just curious how mine compares to yours. I like how your sits but mine seems to be a bit lower in the rear which I don't like. I would prefer 1/2-1" of rake which is why I did a 2/4 (I had about 2.5" or rake at factory height) but it seems like maybe the rear lowered down further than 4" or the front didnt lower a full 2" I dunno....

It did sit dead level, so no rake...it may have been closer to 5” lower in the rear.. I had a unorthodox setup.
Before it was 2/4, I had it at 4/7...and it looked great but rode horribly. So I removed the drop shock/struts up front and replaced them with a 2.0 fox coilover with zero lift and left my 2” lowing spindle.
..but out back I left it spring under and removed the factory hanger/ shackles and added a generic lift hanger/shackle.

I played with it all the time aaand got the off-road itch again.
Now it has a dirt king uniball upper, 2.5 king Coilovers, still spring under in the back with different hangers/shackles Bilstein shocks. Getting you the new measurements wouldn’t be any help now lol

Looks good man! Ok no worries. I have 3/4" difference between the left front and right front so I think I am going to get some drop struts to level it out some and drop it a bit more in the front, see how I like it. I was gonna go with McGaughy's strop struts.....what struts did you have that it rode terrible?
