Anyone in the chandler/tempe area that knows a lot about audio system installs and wouldn't mind helping me install mine tonight?

I need to make some ride height adjustments and want to ensure the difference between front and back is at least somewhat similar to stock, thus keeping the weigh balance the same.

I recall finding these numbers on here previously, but cant find the thread now....
This is what I measured from the bottom of the jacking point to the ground on stock wheels:
Stock:
Driver: Passenger:
Front: 6 1/8 in. 5 15/16 in
Rear: 6 9/16 in. 6 3/8 in

We're still at stock ride height with stock rims and tires. If you need a measurement from a specific point-to-point, let me know. We'll be home late tonight, but should still be able to grab a measurement.

Think you could get an approximation from center of wheel to the top of the fender arch?

Would be much appreciated!

Can't help you there much. Don't have the tools. If you needed help with the headunit, I'd be able to help, though .

Was able to grab some shots in the light.

First shot to show where I was measuring from-to. Tape was held vertical to the ground and centered on the center cap. Wherever the 'top' of the arch was for these shots, it's directly above center of the wheel.

Front left: 14 5/8 to the face where the tape touches. There's about a 3/16 roll to the very bottom of the fender.

Front right: just over 14 1/2 to the face, but the pic is blurry. Besides, I think you get the idea by now...

Let me know if you need other specs measured.

Conclusion base on recent posts: rear sits .25in - .50in higher than front

Thanks to all who responded!
