Could someone get a quick measure on the distance of your lower control arm to the ground, if your truck is lowered 4.5"? Mine seems lower than usual.

with a 4" drop, 2.5 spindles and 1.5 springs the lowest point of the arms (spring cup) looks to be maybe 4.5 inches from the ground. Hope this helps.
