Leveling After a Lift - 4/7/2008 3:03:44 PM

I put OME springs in the front and spacers in the back for my SLS. If I measure from the ground, through the center of the wheel to the bottom of the trim, and make them all equal (36 inches), the back of the truck it higher than the front. Are there points on the truck I should measure by, like the bottom sill or the bumpers or somewhere like that?

Thanks! I'll post some before and after pics when I get them.

Status: offline That combination will give you a little softer ride, me, I like mine kind of firm.
Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you a couple pictures if you want.
