So I replaced both sides lower control arm, bracket, and ball joints for the first time ever on my '02 Envoy with 190,000 miles on her.
I was surprised not only at how well she now handles the road - it's like it's hugging the road and swallowing bumps in the road with ease - but also I'm pleasantly surprised at the ride height being increased to where I have seen other, younger vehicles are at.
Is it normal for ride height to increase after installing these parts, or was it the alignment that I did afterwards that had an affect on the improved/increased vehicle height?
