Well, I've been bagged a little while now so I figured I would finally post some pics and measurements.
My ride height is basically as low as I can go with my camber still in spec. I have stock arms, spindles and struts. I do have the Belltech camber bolts in so that gives me the ability for a lower ride height. The rear ride height could be lower, but I want it to look even with the front.
I was lower up front with my Belltech 2" drop spindles on, but it didn't lift up high and the "all the way down" the inner fenders rested on the tire. I didn't want that happening in case something went wrong, so I went to stock spindles. To go lower up front, I might do Tony's strut mod just low enough to not slam the fenders.
For the rear, the back is as low as I can go without cutting stuff up. The upper spring perch is part of the rear bump stop bracket and is what the bag attaches to so I can't do the free travel mod. I've looked in to this a lot and found my definitive answer (before cutting mine) from this thread here in post 5
For my opinion on the Kelderman Kit, it's perfect for someone who is stock and wants to ride like lowered and play around. I spent a bunch of money to get lowered and then abunhc more money to get bagged no to really gain anything for normal driving around town besides playing with it. If you're stock and have the money, I'd just go with the kit if you really want to eventually be bagged.
And yes, I'm looking to start cutting so I can go mo low...
All down - Front 32" Rear 32.5" - To ride here it's EXTREMELY uncofortable and so bouncy you can't really ride here but for a minute or so.
Almost all down - Front 32.25" Rear 32.75" - I can ride here and it's a little bouncy, but I can't get camber to adjust out far enough and don't want to chew through tires. I ride here almost half the time I'm driving around town, but highway and normal day to day driving I ride at ride height
Ride height - Front & Rear 33.25" - I ride here most of the time for normal and highway (day to day) driving
All up - Front 37.5" Rear 38" - Camber way out and bouncy. I can lower it just a hair and ride all up if I'm making fun of a stock SUV on rims
and here's some misc pics...
