I never put them on my SS, I put some on Banshee08's SS. His was a half inch lower than mine, mine was 27.5 stock. I put a set on my panel also, they were supposed to be v1 and v2 but they both sit at 26.5. I haven't asked Gloria about that yet. We are both tickled with the performance, so why bother ??

Did you have to tie them on to keep them from falling out?

Don......

your statement was EXACTLY what I had thought when I read his post,,,,,besides......

other than his brag, how is it relevant to the post. He supplied no information related to the manufacturer, type, "style", real ride height, vehicle, etc.

Air Ride Low

I read this thread about ride height and it made me curious as to the height of the V8 Panel. The rear ride height is 26 5/8" with 29" tall rear tires. Now, of course this is with tubbed wheel wells and air shocks.

The fronts will drop to 23 5/8" with air struts. It needs to go up a little to steer it.

** Just for a Comparison here are the stock measurements for my 2LT FE3 Sport Suspension **

Front 27"

Rear 28 3/8"

Same exact specs as the above Two .. 1LT's

** This is also after a conversion to 16" wheels with 215/55/16 tires from Stock 17" wheels with 215/50/17" tires all 32 lbs..
A slightly noticeable softer ride difference.
