The front is 3.75" off the ground from the bottom of the air dam/front spoiler.

I have another question about the lift. Did you lift the back end at all? It seems like based on its design you can only lift it so much. Like you go with a slight larger spring but eventually. If you keep going larger it presses farther and farther down. It will add some inches but looks like the spring might pop out the side.

I didn't lift the back at all, and it is actually still higher than the front. With the hatch gone and no weight back there, except the gas tank, the back sits really high. When I eventually add the dump bed back there I will have to do something with the back, but I suspect it will just be adding stiffer springs.

Any idea where i can learn about other spring options? I'm sure they are standardized.

The key is matching the diameter. I was going to see if I could find springs off a mid-duty pickup or SUV that would fit and have a higher spring rate.
