What is the stock ride height??

[Wikkdgt]

Anyone on here that hasn't lowered their 99+ GT Coupe, with stock wheels and tire sizes, know what the gap measurement is on the front wheels? I already lowered mine and forgot to measure. Now I need to know how much my car dropped so I can install my steeda camber kit for the proper shock height. Thanks in advance.

At the top, from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender it's just over 4 inches.

Four inches by four wheels,...yep, it's four by four!
Poor me, I'm the sap who was able to answer this thread.

Truckin U.S.A. Damn all i know a 2 inch drop is only enough if you have 18s on but if you don't then a 2 1/2 3 inch drop.

I just measured mine today since I have an Eibach Pro Kit on the way with Mach 1 shocks and struts. I have my spare and a 12" sub.

Stock height is very similar to what a Jeep has Just got Steeda Springs, Rack bushings, and Steeda C/C Plates put on mine last week. . Its looks 500% better than the stock 4x4 look does. Ride quality is very close to how stock felt. I do have one issue though. The new rack bushings adjusted the rack geometry to much It shifted the rack enough to where the steering column is now brushing against my L/T's It has created a vibration in the wheel and a very slight groan. The shop walked the tube up some and it greatly helped, but it still has a very slight vibration and groan still. Going in in about 30 minutes to try again. If all else fails, we may end up putting the stock bushings back in.

Just like Wikkdgt, I didn't measure my stock ride height before installing Steeda sport springs. If in fact it was 4 inches, I now measure 2 inches between the tire and the fender lip. The springs are rated for a 1.25 inch drop. How is the 2 inch drop possible? This is on a stock 2003 GT. Springs were my first mod. I also have an obvious camber problem, and the alighnment shop said that they could not get it close to -.5 deg. with the stock upper strut mount. Now I'm waiting to recieve my UPR c/c plates to get the camber right. But looking at the geometry, I think I'll also need rack offset bushings.

very close to F150 FX4, You could go through a field with the factory ride height
