This is what 25.75 front and 26.5 rear looks like. Not sure but I think the fronts sit on the bump stops when you get this low.

I like my Ground Force lowering springs... I would recommend them except I bought the last set in existence.

Nice! thanks that info is gonna help me a lot its nice to have a visual reference attached to a number. Kind of thinking i want a full level front to back but am a bit reluctant because i know that extra inch is directly related to available load and for now i do use it for light duty hauling for my shop. Seems the more drive it the more i like it. Maybe if i get it to full level I will toss on some small air bags.

maybe that’s why it dropped only 1/2 inch and not 1 1/2 inches.
Steve- that is Incorrect, the cobalt SS/SC springs are softer & do drop it 1-1/2" when it's all settled.

The "balt SS/TC springs are the stiffer springs & drop 1-1/4" (Trust me, I've been running them for almost a decade.).

I'll report back in a couple weeks to "settle" this . . . .
