After installing my winch and bumper the coils seem to drop quite a bit. Anyone have any measurments I could use and see if these are the right springs.
5.5" WH springs, part# ???. the springs were on the rig when I bought it.

I have 11.5" from bottom of frame to top of the axle tube. This is with BC 4.5 351 w/winch. I have a Warn xd9000 winch, Protofab Guardian bumper, and a 302.

One other thing. In my experience BC springs produce advertised lift or better. Whereas WH springs produce less than advertised lift. I think you'll get more sag in WH springs when you add a winch or heavy bumper because they are variable rate springs. BC's are singe rate.

I have the same meausement as the above post (11.5") with WH 5.5" coils and xd9000i 2x6 custom buper with 302.

I however am not disapointed b/c I expected to only get 4.5"-5" of lift. They flex great. I have heard the stock measurement was from 6-7" so if you say 6, 6-11.5=5.5"?

HTH, Jess

Well I have 11" from frame to axle so I should be fine.
