Spring Measurements? got them used

Well I came across a pair of springs that cost me next to nothing. Just not sure how much of a drop they are. From top to bottom they measure 8 3/4 inches. I'm not sure what stock height is so I can compare. If you have any idea what kind of drop they are please reply.

Unless you know what they are for, your measurements are worth nothing.

Re: Spring Measurements? got them used

They are rear drop springs. Out the box what are the measurements from top to bottom. Sitting upright how high do they stand as I measured them at 8 3/4 inches tall. Probably a vendor would know. As I mentioned earlier they are for my truck just not sure what drop they are.

My 4" rear drop springs measured 10.25" I think. I got mine from GMCPauls. Sounds like you have a 6" drop spring maybe.
