2" + 2.5" drop ride hight measurement needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to figure out what my drop is in front of my 69. Cant recall what springs I ordered and I get a bit of tire rub when the road gets rough. Hoping I bought 2" drop springs and I can swap them for 1.5" or 1" to solve the problem.

Can someone w/2"drop springs and 2.5" drop spindles please measure ride hight in the front?

I have measured 15" from center of hub to fender and 4" between bottom of bumpstop to the spring pocket flange.

Huge thanks

My stock '69 is 19 1/4" on drivers side and 19 3/8" on passenger side from center of hub to bottom of fender. 2.5" spindles plus 2" springs would be right about 15".
