???????
2WD, 4WD, 6cyl, SB, BB, 1/2T, 3/4T, SWB, LWB, HD, Camper??? They are all different. So when you read a company offers a 4" or 6" drop spring, your truck may not change exactly that much, depending on what you had to start with.

I knew at one time, but I can't measure now as I don't have any fenders. You could always try a search. Someone asked about this a while back.

Rock Stock
Here is another 1/2T, 71 that is bone stock, but notice how it does not sit the same as the red one above. A long bed has more weight in the rear, so it should set lower...unless GM compensated with stronger springs. I think you are just going to have to look at/measure a few trucks to get a ballpark.

yea i remember somebody asking this question before and i dont know why i measured then. measuring from the top of arch to ground i have a 3" 4" drop but i wanted to get one from top of arch to hub since tire size and wheel makes it vary. thanks

Nice truck. What size tires/rims do you have?
Also, how did you go about lowering it? Coils, spindles, measurements? Thanks
