Here's 0assenger side,1st pick the rear looks a litter higher because where it's sitting..

Whats the ride height? Looks similar to my nali which is 34/35" from ground to fenderlip. Thats ~ 1" lower in the front and 2" lower in the rear from typical. I am running stock length bilstein 4600's.

The front is 33.5,rear is 35.25..So im thinking you are correct 1 in on front,2 in rear..So im thinking a 2/3 drop wouldnt even be worth it,may as well do a 3/5..I am also running billstein hd's.

Agreed. 2/3 isn't likely to get you much if anything.

What do the bumpstops and jounce stops look like on that rig? Do you have shock relocators? Curious to see how those vary from a typical 'hoe

 

[Num12005]

No shock relocaters,and i can take pics of stops,what is the jounce stops?

Bump stops in the front. It should be actually just resting on them, rather than have several inches of space like they are in the rear.
