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.

thats why you measure center for wheel to top of the fender opening...

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

Yea in fact it dropped more than my partner initially wanted, shes still a bit iffy on it.

195 60 15 barely fit..

I personally know two people who ran Prokit. Drop never moved much from 1 inch spec. Are you sure they are Prokit. Black springs?

Thanks for all the advice. I puchsed the TRD spings from trdsparks.
They arrived yesterday. I put them on. I am pleased with ride.
They are not as low as I would like, but they will do for the time being.

Next change is exhaust.
Anyone selling their Thunder Axle back?
If so, send me an IM.
