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.
