Default I just need some height references...

As some of you may have seen a post of mine a few weeks ago. My truck sits crooked because of an uneven torsion bar adjustment done by the previous owner im assuming. I measured both sides and set the lower side to match the higher side. Now both measurments from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender are reading approx 7 3/4 inches. The passenger side originally was amost an 1 1/4 lower. I was wondering what does some of yours read. Im afraid I might be to high. Mine is totally stock and have factory 20s and factory tires and its a Qaud Cab 4x4. Any help is appreciated. Oh and without the help of this site I probably would have never made the adjustment in the 1st place! Thanks.

however you want it is fine, it wont hurt anything to raise or lower both sides if ya want. i personally like the leveled out look a bit more than the stock look though.

Right now my truck with stock suspension measures 34" from the ground to the bottom lip of the front wheel well with 265/70R17 tires. I measured straight up at the center of the wheel to the center of the wheel well. I think with 20" rims you'll sit about 2" taller from the factory. Hope that helps.

I have to agree with redone4x4, level looks better than nose down. I just haven't gotten around to installing a leveling kit yet.
