hello, im wondering if anyone can help me on figuring out what drop springs i have in the front of my 92 chevy 1500.
i picked up these springs from a buddy and just slapped them on he thinks they are 3'' but hes not sure, they feel saggy though, maybe they are too worn out?
my truck is a extended cab, does it matter if the springs came from a regular cab?

thanks in advanced.

the easiest way to figure it out is to measure from the center of the spindle to the fender lip and compare that to a stock truck's measurements.

My 95 w/t is stock and measures 17", but I could have spring sag.

Your avatar looks right! is that 3" front, or 4"?
