Post Need help with what drop I have

I am supposed to have 2" drop springs. With 275/60/15 tires on 15X8 wheels the bumper sits 8 1/2" off the ground measuring from under the liscense plate. Are these 2" coils? It seems like I went more than 2" down and it sits on the rubber bump stops. I also measured from the ground to the fender lip is 27 3/4 with 255/70/15 tires.

mesure from the center hub to the fender, then it easyer to tell cause not all bumpers are bolted on to perfection
