L6 250, 2WD shortbed. Tires are 29". I have 8.5" from the ground to the bottom of the control arm cross member which seems rather low to me (I have no front bumber at present so I can't use that measurement). My coil springs have about 6-1/2 turns; the inside measurement between upper and lower control arms at the spring is 4-1/2". Can anyone confirm these specs? The control arms are almost horizontal (front view) with the truck on the ground. Is that how they should sit?
