Angry Am I going crazy?

Ok I just installed ECE 6" drop rear springs and my to my dismay it isn't low as I thought it would be. Be a sport and measure you wheel lip to ground and let me know what size tire ya'll are running along with measurement mine is 275/60/15 with 29.5 lip to ground sound right?

Now referring back to the measurements you initially took... right???



Here's how things looked after we measure again; however these measurements were taken in the garage vs. on the driveway, but they should be close enough.

Driver's Side Front: 28"
Driver's Side Rear: 29"
Passenger Side Front: 28 1/4"
Passenger Side Rear: 28 3/4"

Overall change...

Front Drop: 5"
Rear Drop: 5 3/4-6"

Ending result.... PRICELESS!!!!!
Hope this info helps
Sometimes the springs will settle after driving with them a bit but you're within a 1/2" of where his 4/6 drop is...
