    Right Frontat 20 3/8" Hub to Fender and 34 1/2" from Ground to Fender

    Right Frontat 23 1/4" Hub to Fender and 38 5/8" from Ground to Fender=2 7/8" H/F& 4 1/8" G/F
    Before:
    Left Rear at21 1/8" Hub to Fender and 35 1/8" from Ground to Fender
    Right Rearat 21 1/4" Hub to Fender and 35 3/8" from Ground to FenderAfter:
    Left Rear at24 5/8" Hub to Fender and 40" from Ground to Fender= 3 1/2" H/F& 4 7/8" G/F
    Right Rearat 25" Hub to Fender and 40 3/8" from Ground to Fender= 3 3/4" H/F& 5" G/F

    Ground to the bottom of the hitch receiver is was 16 1/8"
    Ground to the bottom of the hitch receiver is now 20 7/8"= 3 3/4"

    Ground to the bottom of the rear differential drain plug was 9"
    Ground to the bottom of the rear differential drain plug is now 10 1/4"=1 1/4"

    Ground to the top of the front skid plate was 18"
    Ground to the top of the front skid plate is now 22 1/8"= 4 1/8"
    The suspension has not settled yet but otherwise, what do you guys think of the numbers? Do they seem consistent with what you've seen from the ULK with 285/75 17 tires? How are my alignment numbers?

    Thanks guys. I was a bit worried as the measurements are a little all over the place but I guess that might be expected until it settles. I was worried about that left front being at 2.0, but, I suppose it will work until I need to have another one done. I don't think it would be worth the gas to drive down and have them redo it. My CV angles are awesome too! I have no idea why. The diff drop must have helped because they don't look near as steep as a lot of people's with the same lift. Unless their fronts were adjusted higher than the factory setting.

    Looks great! I'm also partial to magnetic gray though lol. I didn't get the sheet for when I got mine aligned with my LR UCA's. Perhaps I should have.
