What drop do i have? Need new rear springs

[riviera rider]

Truck was originally my friends who passed 7 years ago. So i have no clue on the drop ratio or parts used. How ever i need new rear springs and would like to be atleast close to the height im at now. Heres a pic with the 17" stocks and also a pic of the 26s w 295 30 tires.

looks like it might be a 2 or 3 inch drop...


Why do you need new springs?

 

[riviera rider]

The rear is bottoming out bad... i work at railroad so i kno the rough roads are to partially blame but also the suspension is atleast 10 years old on top of it.

Springs don't normally "go bad" though...

I would suggest just replacing the shocks first before you replace springs. Shocks will wear out. Get something like the Belltech Street Performance Shocks or something

I replaced shocks about 6 months ago with some gabrielle frm auto store....helped a little bit but right rear spring is defintely dead! Redoing everything this spring and just wanna get my stance where id ike it!

OK. Well I would say you could go with a 3 inch or 4 inch spring and then add spacers if that's too low.

Have the bumpstop brackets been cut? That may be why you're bottoming out.

Cut brackets off frame?
Shock extenders?
