The post-measurements were LR=31 1/4" & 30 1/2".
The truck already has an adjustable panhard bar, but havent adjusted it yet. I also have 2 1/2" drop spindles with 1" drop coils to add to the front... have not installed yet.
I also have 235x75x15 tires. A comparison of other members' hieght with the same 5" drop coils could help.
