    Measurements were taken on flat ground from the ground up to the middle part of the fender. The front pre-lift measured at 35", the rear at 36". Post-lift the measurements were 38 1/2" and the rear at 38".

    After 2 days of settling the measurements have settled to 37 3/4" on the front, and a "hair" under 38" on the rear. To my eye it has been effectively leveled with my current settings. In my opinion the ride is substantially improved with reduced body roll, slightly tighter cornering, and very little nose dive when approaching a stop.
