You should remeasure after you have driven your truck for a week or so. The front end might settle a little and may need another crank on the t bar. Most people have been happy with just under 24". Most people have also been happy when they replaced the front shocks with the cognitos and got the 1/2" extended bumpstops. The bumpstops help prevent nose dive and the shocks are better suited to the suspension travel you now have.

H3slate,

I was re-reading you post on where to measure for the proper height and just wanted to make sure we are on the same page.... you mention to measure from the wheel / hub center to the lower ledge of the fender. I measured from the center of the hub straight up to the fender.



Just want to make sure we are talking about the same place...

Thanks,
