Default I think this question was asked couple days ago, but the answer was not clear.

and I believe there is some variations suchs as wheel size and tire size and so..

it is not hard to adjust the hight even the CO is installed.. so I would suggest you to adjest it after you install it..

if you really want to set the hight prior the installation, check the stasis website. I think they have the caculation or call them..

Default I just raised mine to 25.5 but unfortunately I'm out of town in Asheville

so I can't measure for you. If you can wait until the weekend, I'll measure then.

Default My advice would be to start high so that you can adjust later.

Going down is much easier than going up. Plus the springs will settle a little during the first few weeks. My rears were almost all the way up to get it to 25.75". My fronts still had a lot of room to go up. Now I'm at 25-3/8" because of the extra 100 lbs of equipment I have in the trunk. So I lowered the front to match.

Start high. It's purely trial end error man. Sorry.
