5" drop coils
I need a measurement from someone with a truck together with 5" drop coils in the rear. If you have 6" drop coils, that would be fine too. Just need to know which drop you have...
At ride height, what is the compressed length of the spring? I need to know the distance from the trailing arm to the frame where the spring is bolted in. Can anyone help me...

Re: 5" drop coils
I recently took mine off so I'm no help. I changed to 3" with 2" blocks.

Re: 5" drop coils
Thanks Gregg. What is your measurement with the 3" springs?
