Hey all,
I have air suspension and I am thinking of converting to springs, so I am curious about a few things. To answer what I am contemplating, I was wondering if someone with stock springs could do a measurement for me on the rear of the vehicle to give me the height their truck suspension sits at with stock springs. (of course this would also include stock sized tires too)

You can basically do a measurement on a flat surface from the ground to the wheel arch, or from the stock sized tire to the wheel arch.
I would like to see if the ride height is the same on air as it is on springs.

Thanks

I did plasti dip them originally but it doesn't hold up worth the crap in the auto car wash. Here in AZ it's too hot during the summer to hand wash your vehicles. The water dries before you can even respray it lol.

I pulled all the plasti off, scuffed the wheels, primered, and did 2-3 coats with Dupli Color low gloss black engine enamel.

Thanks, I scuffed my oem chrome door and sprayed it with VHT crinkle coat. It turned out pretty good and has held up extremely well. I have a set of billet side marker bezels I'm thinking about spraying with the same thing.
