Ok all, here are some quick pics i snapped while replacing my stupid ****ing upper rad hose assembly as I promissed. I'll take REAL pics after shes all up and road worthy (still need to bleed coolant system, i tried, didnt work, its just beyond me at this point, first try ever failure haha)

The pics have a yard stick in them, leaning ALMOST vertical from the ground, its maybe a 1/4 inch angled back against the car to stay up, but the angle of the pictures makes it look worse. I quickly put red bars at each foot mark semi level in paint lol just for ****s n giggles.

I dont have a tape measure, but roughly BEFORE the lift kit, unknown miliage on suspension, 103k on the ticker:

Side clearance measured by bottom of edge under doors between tire to tire: 13.5" again ROUGHLY, probably plus minus an inch, using yard stick and a pen to get measurement. AFTER 16" thats a solid 2.5-3.5" gain.

To the bottom of the rear lights from the ground: 22.5", AFTER 26.25" ROUGHLY, again a good lift.

Top of wheel well clearance from top of tire to top of center wheel arch: 4.5" to 7".

I have only a factory brush guard in front, and maybe about 100lbs of tools/fluids/crap in the back... and a smidge below a half tank of gas.

 

So I have plenty of verticle room to play with for tires, but the front gap is only about 2.7" and the rear gap about 4" for the front tires, I didn't bother measuring the rears yet.
