Drop springs measurement
 
I did a sectioned crossmember for my C10, a "Gulstrand" mod, moved the lower A arm forward, and cut the springs.

So suprise surprise I lost my measurement build sheet of how much I dropped the truck, and I am planning to make more changes this winter.

So can someone give me a measurement of either stock or equipped with 2" drop springs.

You can either do the wheel spindle on center to wheel lip

Or actual spring height

Thanks

How much was sectioned from the crossmember? One wrap cut from most coils will drop 2".

I don't remember.

I sectioned the crossmember lowering it a inch. Then I lowered the upper arm nearly a inch, and raising it nearly a inch.

After which I cut till I was content, but judging by claimed pics. Factoring in Kentucky windage for differing tires. I belive I am sitting around a 3/6 now.
