Lowered Truck?

Is there a way to tell if your truck is lowered? I think mine is but not really sure. The front measures 30" from the ground to the top of inner fender and 32" in the back with 255/70/15 tire, any help is appreciated

Re: Lowered Truck?

Can you post a pic? I am not certain of the factory measurements, and if the springs have sagged at all they may be of no use anyways.

Re: Lowered Truck?

Those heights will be affected by tire size as well as tire pressure. The center of the wheel to the lip of the fender will get you better comparisons between trucks.

Re: Lowered Truck?

I looks like possibly a 1" to 1.5" front drop and a 3" rear drop, from what I can see.

not too drastic, but still noticable and tastefully done.

Nice truck!!!
