Don, I just measured the amount of travel left (from LCA to point of contact on the stock sub---and it about 3.7--if I shaved the bump stops, I could get another .5 out of it---I run my shocks pretty stiff in front---so I have not bottomed out. The 19's in front on mine really gives the illusion that it sits lower than it does, along with those .5 DSE body mounts---those helped dramatically---and the ATS spindles took about another 3/4 in off the ride height. Lastly, the chrome wheel molding gives the illusion of approx another 1/4 inch. I can't go any lower, but the tires clear in front. Let's face it, if you want to go low stance, without air, you sacrafice something--in this case, tire width. Todd Akes calls my 235's "Pizza Cutters"--LOL. I'll run wider when I put the Speedtech Sub up front. Let me know if I can help with other pics, etc--you can't go wrong with Blake's stuff.
