Just got home and measured all around. I'm assuming it is aired up at this point. I will measure again in the morning after it has sat all night to see if anything changes.

LF= 33 13/16"
LR= 34 2/16"
RF= 34 7/16"
RR= 34"

I am shocked that the FRONT of my Tahoe is quite a bit different off from each other. Can anyone explain why? My Tahoe has 75K miles so I suspect suspension wear maybe? :think:

Didn't drive the Tahoe all weekend so it sat for 2 days then I measured.

LF= 33 13/16"
LR= 33 11/16"
RF= 33 15/16"
RR= 33 14/16"

I can't believe yours is sitting that low w/ autoride. Mine is barely under 36 in the rear.
I'm on 24s, but the overall wheel diameter should be very close.

I was not expecting it to be so low either. It looks nice though. :D I just need to fix the rubbing on the LF area. The rest is GTG.

Yeah, that'd be too low in the rear for me. I'd be lower in the rear than the front, and that's no good...

I think I'm @ 34" front, and 34-3/4" rear (when not aired up). The rear can go to 35-and-almost-1/2" after airing up. That's when it gets too high visually, and the ride gets too rough. I haven't tinkered with my links from 3 weeks ago, though.

Are both your fronts the same height? I wonder why mine are off a lot from each other. :( Rear is off to.

The passenger side, from the factory, sits higher (1/2", usually) on these and many GM trucks.
