Need a suspension measurement for a '64-'66 C10

[chevy_mike]

Hi guys,

I don't like to cross post between forums but in a week I haven't been able to get this info so I thought it might helpful to try the Suspension forum.

The PO had put Ground Force 3" dropped spring (or so he says) and I only have about 1" between the A-arm metal stop (missing the rubber) and the crossmember stop. Needless to say, it bottoms out all the time.

I picked up some 2.5" dropped spindles and want to verify what spring height I need to keep it at the current height. I like how it sits but want more travel.

Can someone with with a known amount of drop (i.e. spindles and aftermarket springs, not sagging 45+ year old stock springs) please measure from the center of the spindle to the lower edge of the fender? This will take out any differences in tire height. This will help me figure out where I am at and how to get there.

Please, no ground to the fender lip measurements UNLESS you are running 235/70-15" tires on 15x7" wheels. This would match mine and would then be relevant to me.

Thanks a bunch!!!
