Ok i have an LH with the flares on it and 265's on the back. it has monroe shocks, not sure on wat brand spring but they are pretty soft cause i get lots of scraping on the guards, and i have just bought a drop tank, so i want to get new rear springs
how do i know if they are std height or lowered springs.... i was thinkin low to begin with cause it seems to be a bit lower than stock, but then was thinkin it cant be 2 low cause the rear tyres go past the metal guards...
This may sound like a stupid question...

best you go directly to a spring manufacture in your area, talk to them and buy direct.

If the rears guards are not cut high enough and you have a soft rear end it will cut the tyres to pieces...experience talking here!

it already does sit down on the guards over bumps and i do plan to take more out of the guards later on, but for now i just wanna know if i have std height or lowered springs in the rear so i can get new ones ordered so i can fit the drop tank
