Re: Height question

Do you know what size rims those are? It looks like a 2/4 spring drop to me with 17" rims....

Very nice! That is the same stance I have, and my favorite for long fleets, only the previous owner decided to cut 3" out of the front springs instead of using drop springs makes for a bumpy ride...

Re: Height question

From the emblems on the side it looks like a 62 and if that is the case it has torsion bars up front. With mine I got 2.5 inch drop spindles for the front and lowered it the rest of the way by loosening the torsion bars.

Re: Height question

The 62 you have pictured is wearing 20's... the tire in front is either a 45 or 40 series profile (guess) so its 28 or 29'' in diameter. I would guess from my trucks that its at least 4'' drop in front.
