Just did this a week ago. The springs still need to settle a little more, but let me run put and get some current readings.  Hold tight.

Ok, just got back in.  I measured up from the ground, through the center of the wheel to the fender.

Front 27.5"
Rear 28.5"

For me, that's a 0.5 inch drop all around.  It's been about 150 miles, so I'm not sure they will drop much more.

See my instal thread here:

Not mine !!!! Besides, once they are mounted and the car is on the ground, it does not matter. The springs will be doing the work of holding up the car, not the shocks.
