Mine was like 13" even from the center IIRC. That was when it was lowered all the way. I think it's around 13.5" now.

check your dampening. could be too soft and causing more suspension travel

I have it on the hardest dampening level. . i wonder if its just the sound of the damn bump. . .i looked underneath and didn't see much if any damage to the fender well. . .when i take a turn i hear a lil bit of rubbin on the well. . .the fronts did settle more than what i thought, about 3/4" from 13 to center initially and the rears settled 1/2" from 14. . .i love the stance but i may have to change it. . .unless i can get another daily driver. . .but that won't be until August. . .
