Some quick measurements show it's dropped 1" in the front and 4" in the back. The rear has a flip kit to put the axle on top of the leaf springs instead of under them.

I get all the internet points today!

What's crazy is even though it's lowered from factory, you though it could be lifted. Just shows you how ridiculous trucks have gotten from the factory

I really need some more seat time before I get comfortable in those situations. The sad part is, it's still not that big by modern standards. Even an extended cab Colorado is longer.

Aaron wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 11:17 pm Your truck looks really good lowered. I think it looks better than stock.

If my buddies had the lowering kit I don’t think it would look as good. Probably has to do with the Crew Can vs Standard cab.

Your truck is also mini sized. Probably just as long as the Mighty Max. Be glad you arent driving around a full length land yacht like Chris.

Jeff V. wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 12:30 am You'll laugh, but I actually had a file with different vehicle dimensions to keep handy while I was shopping. The Max is TINY.

Mighty Max (2 door, 4WD V6) 177.8" L x 65.9" W
C7 Corvette Grand Sport 178" L x 77" W
Audi SQ5 183" L x 75" W
Hummer H3 188" L x 75" W (it's probably wider due to how the tires stick out)
2017 Chevy Silverado 2dr short bed 206" x 80"
2017 F150 XL 2dr short bed 209" L x 79.9" W (No, this does not include the mirrors. This thing is f'n WIDE)
2017 Chevy Colorado ext cab 212.7" L x 74" W
Chevy Avalanche (both gens) 221" L x 74" W

248.6" total length I believe.

Will be longer once I finally get that bumper put on.
