After I drove it and everything settled, I gained a little over 1/2" over the tire. I love the stance, and I went on a road with a few dips that would normally rub a tire, and no rubbing. It also rode smoother, better than the other shocks (I thought it would be stiffer). So, all that was a win. Unfortunately, it didn't hook. Before I could dead hook, but nothing doing today. However, the rains for the last few days, including last night, may have moisture on the roads. They looked dry, but could still have had moisture. I will check again after we have a few dry days. I also noticed the car wanted to lean quickly to the passenger side when I power braked it. So I'll need to adjust the traction bars for the new height and spring load it's getting from the shocks.
