Anybody else running the 1-2 drop from Tony? Just curious as the drop wasn't as much as I was expecting. The rear obviously is fine, 2" block = 2" drop. As for the front, when I installed it I had less than a half inch drop. I figured I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and let it settle in. Well 6 months and 300 miles later I barely have a full half inch drop. Didn't know if this is normal or if these springs are stiffer than they should have been. And yes, this is being measured on a concrete floor. Guess I just expected it to be a solid inch, a lot of $ for a half inch.
Question on JTSVP 1"-2" drop

You aren't heavy enough to get the springs to settle in. Time to get back in the gym, bro!

And you cut the old bumpstops off and installed thinner ones?

I'm officially out of idears then
Is it possible that your old springs had already settled 1/2" more than stock?

How many inches is it from the ground to the lip of the fender?
I had wondered that myself, but the truck only has 34K on it. Guess it's possible.
Notes? I remember every number, especially torque specs.
Cool. How tightly do I torque the bolts on the top of my heater treater anodes?

Honestly bro I'm a #'s junky, but now that I'm a mortgage lender and do nothing but crunch #'s 12 hours a day, everyday... some seem to slip away. But 34 and a half inches seems to ring a bell????

I'm a #s guy too and yes I make notes for everything, I was just being a smart ass.

My truck is sitting at 33 1/8 front and 33 1/4 rear, I have no idea what the front drop really is but it has a 3" block in the rear. So I'd guess it's pretty close to a 2" drop up front if you're 34 1/2 up front I'd think it's pretty close to right.

The donut shop will be quicker than the gym to put on weight.
The truck has been sitting on the old springs for 10 years now regardless of mileage. All springs will settle with time.
