I to like the stock ride height and look , What troubled me was the measurement from the center line of the front wheels to the front of the thermo fan ,oil,water,A/C cores , it was important as you are limited as the motor sits very high above the front diff and to achive the non monster truck look the cab has to sit low down over the motor and the hood/bonnet will have trouble shutting. if you have any questions, I may have solved them in my build. Hay Evin Coilover Ackerman Angle ? with a lengthing a chassis 8 inches longer will that drasticly change the Ackerman Angle ? and then need attention ?
