Yeah I don't get that either. Unless those new Moog quick struts don't provide factory ride height but I can't see that being the case.

They do provide factory ride height
I have a complete new set here front and rear that a customer traded in on a full OME lift.
Tried them on my 03 before the coilovers arrived and did bring it back up to 19 inches in front
rode like crap but brought it back up from 17.5 ! LOL
Ran them for two days before couldn't stand it any longer :lol: :lol:

Well then I'm glad you talked me into doing it the right way the first time! I should be ordering all the stuff I need within the next week or two.

Measuring from where I did before the lift I gained 2.25 inches in the front and 3.25 inches in the back. That was measuring from the fender to the ground through the center of the wheel. Front went from 31.75 to 34, back went from 31.75 to 35

You say you gained 2.25 on the front and 3.25 rear is that from before the lift or from stock height. The only way to know whether you were already sagged or not is if you were below 19 inches from centre wheel to underside of fender. I gained nearly 4 inches when i lifted mine but i was already sagged 2 so its only a 2 inch lift

before the lift i measured from the ground through the center of the wheel to the fender. i don't have any measurements from the center of the wheel only.

before the lift
front 31.75 inches
rear 31.75 inches

after lift
front 34 inches
rear 35 inches

i am confident that there was sagging before. its 11 years old and has almost 250k miles. i replaced the rear springs as well. they will probably settle some.

at this point i could measure from the center of the wheel to the ground and subtract it from my measurements to get a number like 19, but i don't see why it matters. i understand that the lower half of the wheel could measure differently depending on tire size, pressure, and bulge, but i took my measurements right before the lift and right after. then i measured again after the alignment. my tire size is 235/70r16
