Done. Center of hub to bottom of fender is 52cm front and back. Drives way way better. Like even my gf noticed and she doesn't even know how to drive. And has never owned a car. The back and forth and side to side is gone. It feels a tiny bit harder when hitting bumps. But not annoyingly so. It's barely noticeable. And I'm sure that will lesson as I add weight. Just the roof rack and sound deadening is going to add a sufficient amount of weight
I have not inspected anything visually. Got 4 hrs sleep last night. To exhausted. It does seem like it might need an alignment. But I have to find a road I can go fast that 25 miles an hour on. Lol. There are no freeways here. And you can rarely get over 50 on the two lane paved highways. But I'll drive out of town tomorrow. And go over it visually.
But just driving it around town and out to my place on pretty rudimentary roads. It's a joy. Much much nicer ride. Really glad I did it.
The install cost me $67. And the machine work was maybe $50. Can't beat that.

Looks kind of tall, taller than I expected.
Do you have the part numbers for the springs & shocks you used? From memory there's a choice of three different springs & two shocks front & rear with the selection being based on the planned configuration & loading.
