I have a 68 LWB that I just lowered in the rear w/ coilovers.
The truck already had drop coil springs in the rear of an unknown drop.
I have no point of reference to know how much drop I am at w/ the settings I am at now.
w/ a 26" tall tire I have about an inch above it to the top of the wheel opening on the bedside.

While I will ultimately set it where it looks best to me, I want to be able to tell people what the drop is w/ some degree of certainty.
Is there a known distance from the ground to the top of the wheel opening that w/ tell me how low I am?
