Lol, sorry. Left that day on a backpacking trip down the Grand Canyon. With all the craziness before the trip. Totally forgot. I'll measure it today.

Ha! Thanks.
I expected to be lower, but not by this much. The first springs I tried were .5" lower than these!!
I've had this setup since 2013, and it's a bit rough at times. I think I could go back to stock shackles and 4400 springs to fix the harshness, but I'm not sure about the swaybars. I have hellwig front and back and the back one is for for a 2wd- need to call and verify fitment.
Or sell the truck. Really like new raptor.

I'm running a rear swaybar made for a 2wd.
Is your truck 2wd?

No- 4wd. There are signs of the bar rubbing the spare, but I think it only happens when a load is connected.
The 2wd bar will probably work at factory ride height.
How did you get yours so low? I'd go lower if I could. But if probably loose way to much front travel.

Had springs made by Coil Spring Specialties. The first set were 3" drop with factory rate. Too low.
This set are 2.5" drop at 15% stiffer rate.

~1.5 - 2". Difficult to measure it, but probably right in the middle- 1.75".
Certainly not enough to air it out over speed bumps!

Awesome, thanks. I plan on making the switch pretty soon so wanted to make sure I had everything before I had it torn down and got stuck

Well, after lots of questioning I finally got the new suspension put on in time for Christmas! Went with 20x10 wheels with 305/50 Toyo Proxes tires and gotta say I love the way it came out! Thanks to everyone who took time to answer any questions I had and look forward to doing much more to it in the future

Nice! I didn’t know toyo still make the original proxes

Thanks!
Not sure, I have a parts distributor that carries them and they had them in stock so I got them. Don't like the new proxes so was pretty happy they had the originals still

I'm gonna bring this back up. Sorry if I missed it but has anyone kept the rear stock with 4400# coils in the front? Mine is beginning to sag a hair in the back and I dont wanna take the rear block out because I think that would be too low... im on stock tires rn but my 22x12s and 305x45 420s should be here in a week or so. Thanks
