4/7 drop here (2wd)... fgt

you can't just count the block. tb fronts sit higher then coils. and 2wd crew cabs same to sit the lowest of all in the front.

my truck is eibach keys all the way down with 3 inch arms, shackle hanger no overload and i look like a 5/5 2wd i guess or so

the blocks are lift blocks...so if those are gone then you are at stock...IMO...Then from there the drop would be the same as the rest

I think you might be thinking about it a little too much, i'd just judge it off of pics of other trucks compared to yours. As long as it's low it's got a thumbs up in my books!

Is yours 4x4 and what type and how much drop do you have ?

Love your truck man, sits perfect.

Also if 4x4 how are your CV angles?
