I'm still curious what your fender to ground measurement is up front at this height Levon.

Marcus, I'm gonna pull the car out in a little bit and I'll post back.

Dave, lol. It's all my wheels, angle grinder, heat gun and several hammers. Damn I wish I had corner balancing pads so I can set my alignment myself. That way I can do my alignment and work on the fenders accordingly. :/

Lol.

Marcus, front fenders measure 23.75". That's also with them being pulled a lil outward so maybe 1/4" or so lower than that. Lately i've been smelling something burning after I hit a few consecutive bumpy parts. My sway bar hits as I mentioned and so does part of the frame or whatever the black things are on the side of the car by the sway bar.

Haha, Levon, that's right where i was at with the 225/40/18's.
I raised it back up a 1/4" and put the 215/45/18's back on so now I'm back around 24.25

Yeah it's a crazy height. I'm driving without a front bumper and I'm getting stuck getting out driveways. Straight up grinding and paving the ground. Earlier today on the freeway I hit something and it flew into my rear quarter panel and is stuck in there now probably since I cut it open and didn't close it back up. Oh well haha

That's hella low Levon. I'm at 24 1/8", I don't think I could DD (or even drive sometimes) any lower than that.

Roll hard man, roll hard. That's the only way to go. I almost got stuck on a crown in the road, the front subframe was scraping all over the place
