Not sure of height since I haven't measured it with the factory's. Being a 2wd and is lowered 2in's from the factory also. You may have to come down another 2/3 drop from how your sits now.

In rear you have to unscrew the factory bolt that holds the cargo hook and get a M10 65 mm x 1.5 pitch bolt. then get one of these clamps and tigten it up and will clear the shakle. anything else just hit me back

So his being a 2dr is different than the 4dr and needing that clamp.
