Re: can anyone tell me hpw much my truck is lowered
You're lowered about 4 inches. I have 235/60r15's on 8 inch rims with 2 inch spindles and 2 inch springs and my fender is around 26 inches at center.

It's almost impossible to gauge any amount of drop based on cut or sagging springs , look at pictures of recently completed drops to decide where you want to be and go from there . Many guys have bought 2" dropped springs only to find out their truck sits higher than it did before .

Re: can anyone tell me hpw much my truck is lowered
Just looking at your pic, it looks like the front is down at least 4-4.5", the back looks down about 4.5-5"
This is my truck with a similar tire size, ECE 4/6 drop (2.5" spindle with 1.5" spring up front). It's a very drivable drop and you don't need to notch the frame, just trim the bump stops.
