I personally like to measure from the center of the wheel well before and after. Of course, you have to use the same wheels, etc. lol

I started measure at stock springs installed. I measured over a few months.

I went from a known spot on a level floor to the bottom of the fender lip, with a tape measure.

So mine went from stock height to 1.8 inches lower from stock measurement.

That is one hell of a lot of settling for a spring with a published drop of 1 inch.
