#1 - I suck at the search
#2 - Trying to find out if the chassis i bought has lifted springs.
**As it sits now it only has a body on the chassis**
If I fit up shocks 650mm (extended) i get about 60mm till the diffs are at full droop.
Any ideas what the free standing height is for standard LWB coils?

Stupid suspension question - GQ LWB patrol
original GU ute shocks are 290-480 front, 380-605 rear
original GU ute springs are 15 x 392-393 front and 19 x 425-435 rear ... done 40,000 kms
original GQ wagon shocks are the same as GU
original GQ wagon springs are 15 x 387-390 front and 15-17 tapered 455-456 ... done 350,000 kms though.
The Koni 2" front shock is 330-515, rear shock is 430-660
[ could be 2" Rancho springs] measure 17 x 385-400 front and 19 x 448-458 rear and i thinks were a comfort set to suit a bullbar.
[2" kings springs] measure 18 x 385-395 front [KDFR42-HD], and 20 x 460-462 rear [KDRR43-HD]

What colour are your springs? I have a set of standard springs (black) here that have done only 40,000 kms they measure 385 front and 455 rear. They are thinner though compared to my 5 inch coils and may be longer than a heavier duty coil.
I doubt (but shoot me down if I'm wrong), why anyone would upgrade their springs without changing the ride height? My guess is if they aren't black they are at least 2 inch lifted.
If you don't have body lift what you can do is measure from the centre of the hub to the edge of your flare or guard and then same on a stocko patrol??? That rules out tyre sizes etc. But if you do have body lift, obviously subtract that size from your measurement.
