Are your tires sized the same in the back and front?
I was talking to a guy at Speedway Repair ( or something like that - just south of the Speedway on 99). He has an '03 or '04 Chev thats always parked out front. He said that with the like size tires the rear would actually be lower than the front with 2"/4" drop?
Yours looks even so I am curious.
Also, are you having any problems with bottoming in the back? I was looking at mine and it looked like there is barely 5" between the axle and the frame (didn't actually measure it but it looks tight!). This guy at SR said he cut the snubber off and occasionaly bottoms the back.
Trying to get some idea before I commit to buying a kit.
Thanks
