My Suburban is sitting 36 all around pretty much.

Hope to have it 35/36 some day.

Different springs used in different trucks. This is why you get more drop on some trucks than others.

ie my front esclade sits at 33 7/8 thats with a 2.75 inch drop about.

in rear stock was at 38 9/16 where as now it sits at 34 1/2 about a 4 inch drop.

Some autorides sit higher than others I noticed also spring part numbers vary. Either way we will soon find out on measurements who knows I might be way off.

I'm 4x4 also.

Last time I measured (after my alignment) it was: (posted back on page 4 or 5)

FL 34 3/8" FR 34 5/8"

RL 34 1/8" RR 34 3/8"

I've lengthened the rear autoride links since then but don't recall the measurements, I'll try to get it tonight.

Josh, are you running a 295 or 305 tire? That makes a small difference also.

GM uses a Plethora of shocks.......... There are 8-10 different listings for every year.

I found that out when I was recently researching them.........

I think mine sat at 38 in the rear and 35 in front stock because my rack was so terrible it was sickening. And I currently have two inches of rake and can't complain.
