How much drop is this?



A previous owner cut and/or torched the springs...I love the stance, but it rides terrible. I ordered new shocks, which may help to a limited degree, but I’m thinking of ordering new springs too... springs only at this point...so, I found a set on eBay that are 3” / 4” for cheap, from bro-speed, does anyone have experience with these particular springs, and or the seller? I know it won’t be as low as it currently sits, but that’s okay, a decent ride and better around town handling is really more important at this point, as it will be a daily driver in a small town with bad streets...

Re: How much drop is this?

Measure from the top of the wheel arch to the ground then subtract half the tire diameter and I’ll compare it to mine and we can figure it out easy but I’d Guess it was around 5/6 also if you want ride quality upgread to disk and drop spindles you won’t regret it

Looks similar to my truck. I'd guess 4.5/6.
