How can you tell drop coil size?
So I picked up some lowering springs at a yard sale. My question is, how can i figure what size they are. I mean I don't know if they are a 2, 4,5 in drop. Maybe by the number of coils, etc. Thanks

Re: How can you tell drop coil size?
Is there any numbers on them? How about color? If you can ID the manufacturer, you can start to narrow it down.

Measure the hight of the spring when under load and the spring rate, or install them and see if you like the way the truck sits.
