L200 sitting on bump stops almost ?

Post by wildplumdx »

was under my truck the other day measuring for a body lift bolt length etc and noticed my truck only sits 10mm if that off the bump stops !? what the hells up with that ? someone lowered it or just sagged in the torsions or something ? whats the factory height ? better yet what can i take it too ? my guess 50mm of excess in the shocks to allow for lift sound alright ? if that makes any sense.
