Lowered Truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a way to tell if your truck is lowered? I think mine is but not really sure. The front measures 30" from the ground to the top of inner fender and 32" in the back with 255/70/15 tire, any help is appreciated

Can you post a pic? I am not certain of the factory measurements, and if the springs have sagged at all they may be of no use anyways.

Origanal ride height was 32-34...as far as i'm aware.

Those heights will be affected by tire size as well as tire pressure. The center of the wheel to the lip of the fender will get you better comparisons between trucks.

I looks like possibly a 1" to 1.5" front drop and a 3" rear drop, from what I can see.

not too drastic, but still noticable and tastefully done.

Nice truck!!!
