Looking for Factory Ride Height Dimension..

So when I lowered my wagon back in May, stupid me didn't get the before ride height so I never really knew exactly the overall drop I accomplished. I've always guessed that it was a few inches front and back. Can someone tell me the ride height (on level ground of course) of their 2LT? Center of wheel from the ground to the bottom of the fender...

Use the following procedure to check the P and R dimensions.

1. Use your hands to lift the front bumper approximately 38 mm (1.59 in).

2. Remove your hands and allow the vehicle to lower.

3. Use your hands to jounce the front of the vehicle downward approximately 38 mm (1.59 in).

4. Remove your hands and allow the vehicle to rise.

5. The dimension (P) for the left and right side of the vehicle is measured from the bottom lip of the wheel opening to the ground measured at the center line of the front wheel.

6. Compare the measurement to the specification table. Refer to Trim Height Specifications .

7. If the measurement is outside of the specified range, replace the front springs. Refer to Strut, Strut Component, or Spring Replacement .

8. Use your hands to lift the Rear bumper approximately 38 mm (1.59 in).

9. Remove your hands and allow the vehicle to lower.

10. Use your hands to jounce the rear of the vehicle downward approximately 38 mm (1.59 in).

11. The dimension (R) for the left and right side of the vehicle is measured from the bottom lip of the wheel opening to the ground measured at the center line of the rear wheel.

12. Compare the measurement to the specification table. Refer to Trim Height Specifications .

Thank you much! Looks like I got a little more than I had figured...2-1/4" up front and about 2-1/2" in the rear.

I never disliked them. Like them even more now that I swapped the rears out for some that leveled out the wagon.
