How low did you go?

There's all kind of threads and a lot of them are the same and this thread has probably been talked about. Many new guys are undecided on what suspension drop and rims to go with. So let see some pics and specs on your lowering

This is my pre-winter mode on 18X9 and I lowered her 1.5" in the front and 0.5" in the rear

2.5" in the front, 2.0" in the rear on stock rims

never going that low on a vehicle again, scraped everywhere. winter was beyond terrible to drive in. looked cool being that low, but not functional enough

I'm still rolling the stock off road ride height stance, but I plan on upgrading the suspension one of these days when my finances allow for it. I'm not going to go very low since my dad lives down a dirt road, and the entry/departure angle to the parking lot behind my apartment building is quite steep, and the numerous speed bumps in my g/f's neighborhood are insane. The speed bumps always get brought up during every HOA meeting to have them cut down, but the HOA refuses.
