Ride Height Measurement 1/2 2WD

I was wondering if someone could get my a measurement from a stock ride height 1/2 ton 2wd pickup. My truck has had the coils cut in the front and I'm getting a game plan on what spindles i need. Front and back would be great. Thanks in advance.

Re: Ride Height Measurement 1/2 2WD

The stock height is 32" front and 34" rear from the ground to center wheel well.
Normal stock tire size is 235/75R15. Diameter = 28.9" = radius = 14.45"
So 32-14.45= 17.55"
So 34-14.45= 19.55"

To level a stock truck, you need to drop the rear 2" more than the front drop.
