Front: 32.625"
Rear: 34.5"

New Height

The PPV Springs lowered the rear end by 1.75" on my moms suburban! I must say, it sits just about perfect now!!

Pictures are above! The PPV springs lowered the rear end by 1.75". There is still the slightest rake to the stance. However your eyes will play tricks depending on the location and make it seem like the rear is squatting.

Ride quality seems to have stayed the same, and my mom has not complained so I think its good in that department.

Measurement was taken from bottom of wheel lip to fender lip. That is why the reading seems short.

Measuring from ground to bottom of fender lip.

Front : 36.375"

Rear : 36.4375"

Rear sits 1/16" taller than the front.

Well seeing that these dropped the rear 1.75" and now the rear only sits 1/16" taller than the front. Its up to you if you wanna take the chance of 2" coils making it squat. All depends on how yours is sitting stock. The difference in stock height for me was less than 2" and did not want it to squat.

This is mine sitting at 33.75 in the front.

Like 35 in the back

You dropping the front?

When I had mine rear only with 2 inch springs it looked sagging. I dropped the front and it looks perfect imo
