Droop is measured with the chassis suspended and the wheels hanging down unladen, the droop screws in the a-arms adjust the actual droop.
What was throwing me off is the Hudy setup station I have. It tells you to check droop with the wheels off and measure under the threaded portion of the wheel hub. You can't do this and get the proper droop settings (shock length) so I will just eliminate that extra step.
I appreciate everyones help.
