Drop shock ??

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of lowering the truck with spindles and drop blocks. Well I'm still waiting on a few things so I haven't torn the truck apart yet, but have most of the parts sitting in the garage.

Right now my truck has only a spring drop, which I believe is a 2" or 3" inch drop spring in the front and a 4" in back. So I went ahead and ordered some drop shocks since I thought it would be a good time to replace the old shocks. I ordered the KYB shocks (same part # as ECE sells in their 4/6 drop kit). I put the new shock up in place and compared it to the current shocks and noticed at ride height the truck measures around 11" eye to eye. These KYB shocks I ordered bottom out at 10".......what gives??

Did I get the wrong shocks, does my truck have a lower than 3" drop spring?
If it matters the ground to middle wheel arch is 30" right now.

Should I look for a even shorter shock?
