Stock Coil Spring Height?
Does anyone have a set of front and rear coil springs that are off their truck that they could measure the height on for me. To make a long story short I bought a lowering kit from a guy who didn't know what the actual drop was so I need to try and do some research to figure it out. I'd like to do it before I start pulling the springs off my. The kit came with drop spindles and springs for the front and springs and 1" blocks for the rear. I'm thinking it is a 3.5/5 or 4.5/6. I'll have to do some measuring when I get home from work.

Re: Stock Coil Spring Height?
I have a new set of stock height spring which I bought to put on when I do my front end. I can measure it for you this evening if nobody else get to it before me.

Re: Stock Coil Spring Height?
Thanks for the quick replies. I'm like a little kid on Christmas morning, I can't wait to get home and open the boxes.

Re: Stock Coil Spring Height?
It looks like the spindles I got are 2.5" lowered spindles, the front springs are 11.5" so it looks like the front is a 3.5" drop. The rear springs are 10" and 1.5" blocks so it looks like the rear is a 4.5" drop. I'll have to get the shock relocator kit and adjustable panhard bar for the rear and new shocks upfront cause the ones on there look really old.
