    Ok,

    I didn't measure the engine crossmember yet, but here are the rest.

    My front bumper is 16.5
    Rear bumper is 20.5 (airshocks aren't pumped up probably would gain an inch or two)
    Didn't measure the engine crossmember. Hey, I have done 12 hours and 550 miles today, cut me come slack.)
    The pumpkin is 9"

    They aren't too far off. I am surprised your front end sits higher in the front than the rear. What are you hauling around in the trunk? Also I'll bet I could gain some clearance up front if I took the pushies and the extra battery. Those alone easily add another 100lbs.


    Do you have any pics of your car in it's current setup?

      No but I can take some tommorrow. I have a lot of shit in the back. Im also not running spacers under my front springs or rear at the moment. The wagons tend to have more axle drop and that allows for the spacers without the shocks jarrin it so much.

        Up front I put some of those shock extensions on when I put in the spacers.
        In the rear the airshocks are plenty long enough.
