No, The 24-5/8" is the rear height after the new leaf springs. I'm trying to find my before measurement since I can't remember it off the top of my head. I have it written down somewhere.

The way the sun is hitting the front end you can't even tell I have a Billet grille in this picture. I think it's time I pull it out and touch up all the black on the honeycomb grille and surround.

Stainless braided brake lines are installed. MUCH better. Even with the larger tires I can't feel them fade like they did before. The pedal feels a bit stiffer from the very top of the pedal travel.
The real test will be in the coming months when we tow our boat to and from Michigan through the mountains of Pennsylvania.
