Haha I dont believe there are any whataburgers in my area. I've been a long time lurker, register not too long ago, and finally ended up posting a comment.

It's about a 5/6 drop. I never took measurements prior to lowering it. And I went from the factory wheel and tire size to these. It could be more or less. Im running Belltech SP drop struts, DJM 3 inch lowering control arms with offset bushings, 1.75 inch sway bar end links and Belltech cam plates, Belltech 2 inch drop spindles, Belltech SP drop shocks, DJM rear lowering hardware kit, Spohn adjustable panhard bar, and C10 6 inch drop coil springs with no upper or lower insulators. I wanting to go a bit lower in the rear, so I'm planning on cutting a coil off.

My wife wanted something safer than her BMW Z4 after a severe accident. We already have a 2019 Yukon Denali that's used solely for transport twice a year between our 2 homes, 1000 miles apart. We minimize miles on it to make it last. After much research we went with a Kia Sorento X-Line EX, AWD. 100K miles w/ 10 year drivetrain warranty and a 5/60 on everything else was hard to beat. It has 3 row seating and is her new mobile shopping cart.View attachment 408418View attachment 408420
@10:33 I see they are bringing the crotch vents back which I like. @OR VietVet @Tonyrodz @B-train

If I remember right I did drive a GM truck at one time that had a vent at bottom center, under my steering wheel. It was chromed plastic. 3-4 vertical sections across and had louvers that were horizontal and serrated wheels at each end to roll/adjust it. Was that in the 80's? Hell I don't remember but sure could use them now when traveling in 'crotch rot" humidity areas.

I'd say very late 70's to possibly mid to late 80's. GM

Yeah I think you nailed it guys. I think an old S-10 Blazer and Dodge Caravan I used to own had those. Maybe even my old Malibu wagon.

I would have liked to be in the same room when the designer/engineer/think tank person came up with that idea and tossed around the reasoning for that. The words "crotch" and "nuts" were definitely said in the description.
