    That is what I wondered but the manual does state that bleeding the system without the engine running could cause damage.

    On a bright side I actually had my maiden voyage today. I drove my VX to the mufler shop to have the exhaust system installed! I was in hog heaven though I was listening for every noise, creek or pop. I was pleased with how stright it drove and did not pull to either side, especially since it has not had the front end aligned yet! I think I have the ride height set close to where I want it. Sitting on a level surface the distance from the floor to the top of the rear wheel well is 34 1/2 in the rear and 33 1/2 in the front. From looking at my original pictures, it looks like it had a similar stance when I first got it. If anyone could prive me with the measurements of their suspension would be great!

    I will post up some before and after pictures soon.

    I looked this up a while back because I thought the nose on mine was way too low (it wasn't). Here's one thread (there are others out there) that made it seem like there was a fair amount of variance on stock vehicles. It's been a while since I did the research, but I was left believing that 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" was average with the full range going from 3/4" to 2".

    38.5 to the lip of the cladding in the rear and 37 to the lip of the cladding in the front Hope that helps!!
