Can some one tell me the approx height between the bump stop and the axle on a sierra? I know mine has sagged, but i want to be sure by how much before i fix stuff. I have 1" between the stops and the axle. It is not lifted, just standard.

It's probably not as sagged as you think. Obviously, the newest leaf sierra is 11 years old now, so they will all either be sagged or lifted, but I reckon they wouldn't have been over 1.5" stock.
If I recall correctly, stock, new front springs had very gentle negative arch.
hope this helps.

So do these look sagged at all? They are the standard springs on a 1984 sj410.
I am looking at replacing them very soon.

I agree. That looks stock. I;m guessing the winch hasn't been on there long

At the time of the photo the winch had been on the for 3 weeks.
I am looking at getting some new springs and shocks soon as the sierra is the most uncomfortable ride on the rough roads, But is much smoother with only 6psi in the tyres.
