Unfortunately I didn’t grab any measurements, but I can say this did not come down in the front as much as our shop truck, in which we used a different brand of front springs. The upside is I have not bottomed out this one on any speedbump or driveway, whereas Old Blue rubs tire-to-inner fender and/or crossmember-to-road on even modest dips in the freeway. I’d say the front height difference between them is about 3/4”...both are running same front tire size and brand.

Now with that said, I liked Greenie’s rake but the front tire to fender gap wasn’t to my liking...which has started me on the next phase of this build...
