Ride Height

Im sure the 62 C10 Ive bought has been lowered but Im not sure by how much.

Can anyone tell me, what height the chassis/frame should be off the ground (front and back) in a standard setup? If I can identify that I should be able to tell if mine is lowered then I will know what new springs to buy.

Re: Ride Height

Take a picture under the truck of the Torsion bar adjustment keys. Maybe we can notice if the front has been dropped.

Re: Ride Height

It looks to me like the keys have been cranked out some.
I'm pretty sure at stock they're tucked up in there more.
