Default can someone tell me what drop i have

i bought my truck allready lowered, last time i changed the oil i was try'n to figure what they used to lower my truck and discovered that my front right coil spring is broken. spindles and control arms look stock, springs look stock and uncut. both of my springs are rusting on the lowest coil wrap but they dont looke heated eathier. kind of a brain buster, would like to replace coil, but im unsure on what to replace it with to keep my front ride hiegth. also my rear leafs look fairly stock but say MADE IN MEXICO on them do u think there stock GM. thanks for any input, nick

Hard to tell what brand drop it is. The stock GM leaf packs are stamped MADE IN MEXICO but then so were my 4" drop leaf packs from Hotchkis. I know it's a more expensive route but it might be in your best interest to just buy a new drop kit. You're ride quality and height might be off by just replacing the one broken spring. Try contacting the seller to see what kit they installed.

Judging by the pic you provided it looks to me like a 2-4 drop. It has about the same stance as mine.

I'm gonna say a 2-4 because he's got some big tires up front on them wheels, probably the same i got with my escalade wheels (265-65-17) and they're freaking huge tires.

The more I look at it I think you might be right.

i think its 2/4 because of the 31" tires. measure from the center of your hub up to the fender well and post it up and ill measure mine and well see what it comes out to.

i think so because the front tire clearance and the rear tire clearance are no where near close enough for a 2/4. this is how a 2/4 sits
