Can a couple of WK owners post their suspension height for me?

here are my current suspension heights, from ground to bottom of the fender or quarter panel. My front is a bit over 32" while the rear is bit over 33.5".

Can a few of you tell me your stock WK heights?

I'm at the exact same height in the front as you are.

my 2007 5.7 is pretty close about 1/2" different side to side

I re-did my measurements from the center of the hub to the lip of fender. I just did the drivers side due to limited garage space. The front was 18.25" and the rear was 19.75", so I need 1.5" added to the front to level it off, whether I measure from the ground or from the hub.

Anyone know how much the rear would drop with SRT springs?

Can some of you post some more height measurements?

Center of wheel to fender.

And post your suspension mods.

Is the picture in your avatar before the new rear shocks?

Thanks for your post.

I bought a WK a couple weeks ago and the front hub to fender measurement was 23.5" with just a 2" spacer in the strut. The rear measures 21.5" and I didn't like how high the front looked in comparison to the rear. The upper ball joint and a-arm also appeared to be at very steep angles. I removed the 2" front strut spacers and now the front hub to fender measures 19.5", so I guess the positioning of the strut on the A-arm roughly doubles the amount of lift you actually achieve out at the wheel. With that said, does anybody offer a 1" spacer? I'm pretty sure I'll have to disassemble the strut and replace the four studs with longer ones that can simply pass through the spacer and bolt onto the body. I've searched and haven't been able to find what I need so I'll probably just get some 1" aluminum and make my own unless somebody knows where to purchase some.

I bought this to someday replace my SAS 4Runner rock crawler because it has the Hemi drivetrain I want, but the current goal is to keep it nice and run a small lift with Rubicon take-off tires for a good ride with an agressive stance.

Here's our SRT when I swapped the BWoody/Roadmagnets for some H&R's. The H&R's are made for the regular GC, not the SRT, but they still take it a little lower than stock and are an AMAZING ride.

This is the physical difference2 days after the swap to the H&R's.



The angle doesn't show it, but the ass was sagging on the BWoody's. Plus they were a harsh ride on DFW roads and they were so low, it'd hit the bump stops 3-4 times on the way to work. Mine were the larger rear drop ("level"), but they also made a set that kept the rake.
