Front is probably close to 39-40 still as it was years ago after the first coilover setup.

What's your fender to ground measurement? Looks much taller!

Shiiiiit I honestly don’t even know. I’ll measure When I get home tonight and report back.

I’m 6’2” and definitely had to hop and use the whee before I put the power steps on. The girl I was dating when I bought the truck was 5’2” and I literally had to help her into the truck before I got the steps

a little late to the party, but does ours count?
we ain't dumped the clutch in it, though, because it's only a Solstice transmission in a 5000lb truck

You have an actual lift kit though right? Excuse my ignorance I can't see signatures on my phone.

That is hilarious I would have gotten her a rope ladder or something

Solstice transmission
That was a good one I never thought of that. Guess you made it back to the state of the free and the home of the maskless. Probably the best place to be during this "pandemic".

Dang I'd need steps too. My front sits about 1.5" higher as well and doesn't appear to be squatting. In fact I think it looks nose down most of the time.

Yeah it had a 6" lift on it when I bought it, But slowly have been moving in the long travel direction.
I mean it wasn't all that bad.. extra excuse to grab the booty every time.

Its definitely not super leaned. The passenger side was actually 3/4" lower on the front so I need measure and adjust the coilovers.

Mine had a 6"-8" lift when I got it and couldn't wait to cut it all out. I always felt like it was going to flop on its side and it rode awful. The final straw was when I tried to drive over a fallen tree on a trail and got hung up on the torsion bars which hung way below the frame killing any ground clearance. Ended up making it over but both bars were bent pretty bad. I miss mountain trails a lot.

Zebras H3 would be fun on tight trails.
