Like in this shot. It was still touching the ground!

| Post subject: | Amount Of Front Tire Drop? |
When the KJ was on a lift at a garage I measured from the top shoulder of the tire to the center of the flair. After I got home I remeasured it and came up with 3.5" change. Is that about right? A 3.5" drop. The sway bar was on. Terry |

Sounds about right to me. My flares go from 35" to about 38" or so before a tire comes off the ground. |

I always wondered how far they would drop down so that is why I checked it. But I didn't replies know if it should be more or less. Thanks for the replies. Terry |

That was with the Franky II and the tires were a little bigger than stock. The rear sway bar has been off for months so it was off then also. Below is how it looks now. Terry

I guess I never measured or looked to see how much drop mine has, have only jacked it up maybe 150 times so far and haven't paid any attention  But if I was guessing that sounds about right
