| Post subject: | standard sierra height |
hey guys. just purchased a 92 sierra last night. Found a stack on receipts in glove box. In 2009 previous owner has installed rancho shocks all round, tough dog steer dampner, new springs and bushes. Now theres not a lot of info on the receipt but just wondering how i can measure to figure out if springs are standard height or not. tyres are 205/75/15 and they look like they have 50-60% left. And a 375ml can of coke fits snug between the tyre and flare on the front, and has about 10mm gap from tyre to flare on rear any help is much appreciated cheers |

Seems very unbalanced in height .. But on 205's if there is a 10mm gap especially I'd say they're standard height. |

Oh do you mean 10mm gap between coke can and flare on rear? |

Looking at the leaf spring I'd say they are lifted springs. |

21psi sounds too low lol. Won't that wear tyres prematurely?? |

NO. From the factory, 21psi. |
