    Thumbs up Suspension drop reference

    Here is the way to take the measurements, and I would like to thank Spike for his photos.

    Front



    Rear



    Measure from the centerline of the wheel up (plumb) to the fender lip. Any other measurement doesn't count. 1/4" accuracy is good enough.

    *EDIT:* The current base line measurements for 02-03 trucks (fender flairs) is 18" Front/20" rear.

    Provide:
    Manufacture and front drop type / Manufacture and rear drop type
    Measure front/measured rear
    Make sure you have atleast 200 miles on the drop before posting
    (tire and wheel sizes don't matter)
