    Tagging on to the question of ride height, I keep seeing the suggestion of 13.5F/13R on this forum in regards to aftermarket suspension, why such a difference?

    I have TCK's, I wonder about doing 13.5 all around, or 13.25 all around, why have less travel in the rear?

    Also, I personally don't like the asthetics of such a noticeable ride height difference front to rear.

      AFAIK...

      The front fenders just have more clearance designed into them to account for steering. So, as far as the chassis itself is concerned, equal front and rear fender gaps would mean more rake. Stock rake or less will always mean more fender gap in front than in rear.
