When measuring the ride height at the pegs, is that the distance from the pegs to the ground? Or the distance from the frame in the center of the quad to the ground (at the centerline of the pegs)? And, measuring the shocks at the front with the front off the ground, is the stock length of 12.8in, on the XMX model, the length of both springs? Or just the bottom/main spring? Thanks

I used the frame right in front of the pegs. I also checked at the front of the frame for a level stance. It's just what I did. But I would measure from the frame at all times and mark the frame where you measure so you measure at the same place each time.
