ok.

I guess what I'm trying to say is,... your truck will have the leaf spring hangers riveted to the frame to accept either a 52" long spring or a 56" long spring.

I don't really understand a 52" 4x4 spring having less arch than a 52" 2wd spring,... but if your truck came from the factory with a 56" long spring a 52" long spring will not fit.

Man Tony, I have the same drop and mine is way higher. But I have a heavy half. After the fist I think I'll be taking out the over load spring to see if that helps. I'd be happy with your height. Looks good.
