Can anyone identify whether these WH progressive springs are 2.5” lift or not? Thx!

Mine are compressed bc they are on the truck..otherwise I would check for you.

Call WH in the morning. They will measure what they have and you will get it from the "horses" mouth.

Unusual measurement. One of our 2.5" coils should reasonably be just shy of 18.5" free height. At least it would if in "new" condition.

It's possible that over time and use (looks like they've been installed?) the free-height may very well have changed as the springs settled.
Can't say for sure.

Hope that helps anyway. Sorry didn't have an exact answer for you.
Do you know how long they were installed, if the PO gave you that info?

I have NEW WH 3.5 inch springs but they aren't WH progressive springs but you can compare the measurements to get a idea, here is the measurements on them.

They’ve been on about 18-20 years! I put them on in 1999 or so; I just can’t remember if they were a 1.5 or 2.5” lift kit. Here’s what the leaf springs look like:

If they've been on that long, they're definitely 2.5" lift as WH didn't have a 1.5" lift until very recently.

Good to know! Apparently it’s a 2 inch lift now, at least in the front.
