What is the stock measurement? (I don't have any truly flat surfaces to put my car on to check.

Stock height will be different for each car... don't ask me why, my best guess is differences in empty weights and GMs lovely mfg tolerances.

I thought the rear was about 28" (give or take) and I forget what the front is. Find someone with a garage or a car port and park it on the concrete slab there (it will be flat enough) and measure it. I never measured mine before and after, but there are a few stock height ones around, maybe I can measure one of those some night soon.

Pimpmaro is right, they all seem different.

One night I"ll try to get mine measured as I STILL haven't gotten my springs in... So hey, who wants to donate some shocks to me? I take Koni's and VISA.
