It is about a 1 1/2" drop spring that way. I like the ride, it is controlled but not stiff. By early spring we should have private label springs, but we need more testing to get the rate/hieght perfect. I swapped in some 4" drop rear springs - it had 2", and a 2" block, to get the back down some more. Well, its lower, but it rides like crap - too stiff. But it is close to the RH I'm after, so soon I think I will swap to air.
Thanks!
