If one of ya could do me a flavor and measure the gap between the top of your tire and the fender above it, I would much appreciate it.

I'm running 2" front and 3" rear, don't know yet if it's dropped or not.

Many thanks.

Clearance from the top of tires at the center of their tread width, straight up to the inner fender lining. Stock '03 GT vert, fuel tank 3/4 full.
Front 5 inches. Rear 5.5 inches.

That's been dropped - the 4X4 look has about a 4 inch gap from fender to the top of the tire, +- a quarter inch.

Edited - not to the wheel, to the top of the TIRE!

Excellent. Next step is to pull off the wheels and identify the spring.

Thanks for the help!

I just got on hands and knees to look. I can't see a manufacturer name printed on the spring, but I found the ID number 68491D on the right rear spring. The spring is black in colour.

Any ideas on brand?
