05blxss Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 hey, new to the site, does anyone know what the stock ride hight is supposed to be? I just got my 05 awd sss, it has 3500 mi. on it and the alignment is a little off and the lower a-arms are sitting on the bumpstops. I was wondering if someone messed with the torsion bars. tell me what you think, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05blxss Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) yeah, money is the issue rear shackels are cheap, spinldes arent too bad, but do you need torsion keys?, rear shims?, shocks? then instalation plus alignment it all starts adding up fast.

Holty Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 hey brandt, since i know you're not doing anything , can you measure you truck from the ground to the top of the front and rear tires. I'm trying to determine exactly how much drop i have in the front and rear. Are you running stock size 20" tires? what i'll do is measure my tires and compare them to yours, then take that calculation into consideration when measuring from the ground to the center of my front and rear fenders. This will help me determine exactly how much drop i have compared to factory ride height. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
