Drop springs measurement

I did a sectioned crossmember for my C10, a "Gulstrand" mod, moved the lower A arm forward, and cut the springs.

So suprise surprise I lost my measurement build sheet of how much I dropped the truck, and I am planning to make more changes this winter.

So can someone give me a measurement of either stock or equipped with 2" drop springs.

You can either do the wheel spindle on center to wheel lip

Or actual spring height

Thanks

Re: Drop springs measurement

How much was sectioned from the crossmember? One wrap cut from most coils will drop 2".

Re: Drop springs measurement

I don't remember.

I sectioned the crossmember lowering it a inch. Then I lowered the upper arm nearly a inch, and raising it nearly a inch.

After which I cut till I was content, but judging by claimed pics. Factoring in Kentucky windage for differing tires. I belive I am sitting around a 3/6 now.
