Default Favor requested - People with hotchkis springs and 18s or 19s

Can you measure the ground clearance between the ground and the tip of the front bumper for me? Stock suspension w/ touring 18" rims I measure about 6-6.5" clearance and I can barely get up my driveway already as is. I want to get an idea how much clearance you guys have after the hotchkis setup. Thanks in advance!

BTW I did a search already and most were just pics w/o measurements.

In theory your clearance should drop by about 1/2" since they claim they drop the front 1/2". I think after mine settled that it was more like 3/4" or possibly 1" drop for the front, not counting switching to 19" sizes which would have added maybe 1/8" more drop.

Either way you would loose at least 1/2" of ground clearnce maybe as much as 1" depending if you stay close to stock tire sizes and any settling of the springs.

The other guy said he had about 4.5" of clearance. That is about what I would guess mine is too. There aint a lot of clearance.
