Well, with 24s, that would bring you 1 inch higher off the ground then my 22s. (which it does) I'm at 33 inches and your at 34 inches....thats how it should be..both of us running 5 inch drop coils. Your new springs are fine. It seems as if your old springs were more then 3 inch...maybe a mistake in packing from the factory...iono. But your sitting where you should be right now on 5 inch drops.
What is your fender height up front btw?
the front is at 33 inches with keys
i'm going to put the old ones back on since it's only a 1/2 inch and the old ones rides 1000 times better. the rougher ride would be justified by the 2 more inches i thought i was going to get but not a 1/2
