what kind of drop does my truck have

I bought springs off a buddy of mine but i dont know what kind of a drop they would give me. So im just curious what kind of drop i have cause i tuck some tire and i see some people say they have a 2" drop and their fender is right above the tire. measuring from the center of my wheel/spindle i have about 13.5-14" in the front. The back sits up like maybe 1 inch higher but im not too concerned with that.



The back is a tad bit lower

Re: what kind of drop does my truck have

Looks kinda like a 4/6 to me. Could be wrong, but that's my guess.

Take some measurements between spring crossmember and the lower control arm somewhere and be specific and I'll measure mine

From the picture, looks like ~ 3/4 - 4/4.
