So I installed my 1LE rear springs today and I'm feeling the back pain already. They are about the same height as the 114lb springs but they are thicker springs since they are rated at 130-170lBS. I installed new sping mounts on them. So the front is now 27" from the ground to the fender and the rear is 27 1/2" from the ground to the fender so it raised it up about an 1" in the rear and the stance is much better. Took it for a ride and on bumps it is like driving a buick can't really feel them much. Handling was nice since the weight of the rear is over a 100lbs with the Optima batt. and stereo in back. I was going to see what is the stock height you guys have on your rides so I know I'm close to stock or more ride height? I have 17" rims with 275/40/17's. Thanks Steve

Re: Installed 1LE rear springs
I found on another forum that 27 1/2" for the front and 28" rear is about stock height so I'm pretty close. But if anyone has measurements of theirs please post. Thanks Steve It looks like I'm only about a 1/2" off on all 4 corners, which isn't too bad.Last edited by ssms5411; 05-10-2009, 05:10 AM.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake
