What is stock ride height?

I think my truck may be lowered an inch or two in the front. How do I tell for sure?

Re: What is stock ride height?

Your stance looks stock.There`s no way to tell at this point.I doubt it was lowered by the looks.Most people wouldn`t put the effort into such a subtle change.It`s like boobs,could just be the laws of nature working.

I agree with special, it looks to be stock with weak springs.

You're probably right. I had not thought about it just having weak springs. I'm pretty sure the whole front end is in bad need of a rebuild, too. If I rebuild it, I will go ahead and drop it a few inches.

Thanks for the diagram 1LoC10.

Re: What is stock ride height?

It looks even and unsettled to me.The tires are lower profile than stock,so that`s got you down a bit.If you had stock tires on there,it would be pretty close to original.
