Gathering data for a spreadsheet regarding ride height before and after the Vogtlands.
If you only have an after installation number, or have yet to install, please submit data.

Am looking for a front/rear measurement from the center of the wheel hub (star) to the lower fender/quarter edge.
Obviously, this is not an exact science, but please do the best you can..an average from left & right side is ideal.

Additionally, chassis specifics/conditions of shock type, subframe/diff mounts, etc..are very helpful.
The overall contributions will better assist in figuring out why people have had such wide variations in drop.

Much appreciated.

14" front, 11" rear.

Front shocks are OK KYBs, rears are original boges with 300K on them

Rear rubber mounts are all likely original too...

Great..but what spring pads are you running? and 14" front, 11" rear exactly?? MANY thanks!

Yes, it was within 1/16 of an even inch in the front and back.

New 1 nub pads in front, old 3 nubbers in the rear.

Helpful thanks..

Goup buy folk..please post your numbers. A taller rear spring is in the works.

My own rig..#1-Front 13 3/8", #3-Rear 11 1/8"..measured center of star, to lower edge.

what would we do with the shorter rear springs? make a coffee table?

btw im doing the install in the comming months and would like to hear about any new news, i guess ill just buy the clone and swap out the rears if anything pans out. renting is expensive anyways.

edit, just saw this,
