Recently installed new "no-name" springs and my shocks look like they are almost fully extended. I'm thinking these springs have more than the stock arch. Is there a standard height measurement for springs? drum to fender? perch to shackle? ground to fender (tire dependant)?

Definately a 15" rim. Will post my height tonite. What measurement should I be getting? (Should only be a 1/2" difference between 15 and 16" rims, right?)

It's up in the air, i rememeber a thread from about a year ago talking about it.
Mine measures 13.5" front, 12" back, and my springs are sagging.
I'd say around 13-14" is stock.

Well, I measured and I was at 13.5" - Right about where I should be. Still looks strange that my shocks seem to be almost fully extended . . . . . (I even have shocks supposedly 1-2" longer than stock too!)

Could be whatever chart the shock place used to look up the 1"-2" longer shock is incorrect. I long ago gave up on what the applications sheets say and just measure for myself and order by p/n: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/Rancho.shtmlFor the rear, I found the Rancho 5144 was about the longest stock you could stuff into the stock mounts and still have full compression to the bumpstops.
